Paying it Forward

So the first thing i thought was, "I want to help someone" so I was think like helping the homeless or donating money to a charity. And then when I was at the store it really struck me! There was this little old lady trying to get these drinks for the very top shelf but could not reach. So then I got the stool and got them for her. After that I just felt so pumped so then I helped her get her other groceries, then I helped her to her car. She was not only grateful but very happy. I think that made her feel very special, and happy. I didn't tell her about pay it forward only because I didn't know I was paying it forward till after she had drove off. After this I felt really good about myself and I wanted to do more. So I started doing little stuff around the house and even though its not the same, i do feel good.

Over the break I did a beach cleanup, at dog beach. Prudential hosted a beach clean up and I volunteered. I spent 3 hours there with my little sister and mom. We picked up almost 100 cigarette butts and over 30 band-aids. IT WAS DISGUSTING! We really learned the importance of keeping our beaches clean; they even gave a lesson on how pollution kills the animal life and makes the ocean air even more gross. I felt good after the beach clean up, even though I did have to wake up at 9:00 on a Saturday. But I did get a free t-shirt and breakfast. However I heard that the week before we did the cleanup there was another one. Which was ok because there needed to be 2. THERE WAS A LOT OF TRASH!

During the break I held a babysitting service with a few of my friends. We didn’t get paid and did this for parents who had to do last minute things and didn’t have anywhere to leave their children. So me and a few friends set up this service that if you had a kid that needed a place to go all you need to do is change them before you drop them off and feed them as well. In our daycare they took naps were fed lunch and got to color, watch television, and go outside and play. While they were sleeping we called their moms to see how long they were going to be. It was really fun. We didn’t get paid, but we had a really good time playing with the little kids.
