Day 17

Friday 4 July, 2008 (The last day).

This is the good deed I did for today:

OK so it's the last day of this project and I have to think of something good and big to finish it off with a bang so I decided to do something nice for a friend. So I rang my friend Luke up knowing that he was doing his chores in the afternoon and he said sure. I went and mopped up the laundry, the entrance, the bathrooms and even cleaned his room! I know I made a difference because his mum said wow and thank you and so did my friend. I felt happy because he really needed some help and it always feels nice to help a friend. I think he felt very grateful because if I didn't help him it would have taken him an hour to do all his chores instead of taking only 20 minutes!

Day 16

Thursday 3 July, 2008

This is the good deed I did for today:

Today I pretty much ran out of things to do for my family so I was kind to my little fox terrier dog by taking her for a walk when I was doing my paper round because she hadn't been out all week due to rain. (Trust me doing both at the same time is not easy)! I know I made a difference because she was really excited but I don't know what she said besides Woof. I felt happy because she really needed a walk and I felt sorry for her. I think she felt happy because she was really excited and barked more than usual. (Probably because of birds).

Wednesday 2 July, 2008

This is the good deed I did for today:

Today I was kind to my dad by helping him with the new recycling because I helped to sort and put all the bottles, papers, tins, etc. into the new recycling bin we got. I know I made a difference because he said thank you and we got the job done a lot quicker. I felt happy doing this because he needed the extra help. I think he felt pleased because he usually has to do all of this by himself.

I know I made a difference because my little brother said thank you, and the other boy at hockey smiled and was extra nice to me. I felt happy to do a something nice for someone else. I think they both felt grateful because they looked happy.

Day 11

Saturday 28 July, 2008

This is the good deed I did for today:

Today I was kind to my little brother by supervising his birthday party at Xtreme tenpin bowling. I know I made a difference because he 'gestured' thank you to me and he said that he preferred me supervising him because I let them dive when they went to bowl. I felt nice giving my mum a break because there were too many to manage (20 to be exact) and otherwise if I didn't supervise them he would have had to have his birthday party at home. I think he was grateful because he had a really great time even though he didn't say thank you.

Day 2

Thursday 19 June, 2008

This is the good deed I did for today:

Today I was nice to my family by making them all dinner which was baked beans on toast (the only thing I could make.) And then after the Macleans College open night I made my mum, dad and sister tea without being asked because they looked cold. I know I made a difference because the whole family said 'thank you' to me for doing this and smiled. I felt happy and really felt that I made their day as my mum had a migraine. I think they felt a bit baffled at first but then they realized I was for real and accepted it a bit hesitantly -especially my sister- but said they were grateful and I'm sure they were pleased.
