I took out the trash even though my mom usually takes out the trash. I did it because my brother was crying a lot and my mom was busy trying to calm my brother down. It made me feel good to help out, and make my mom happy. I knew it would make my mom grateful.

My random act of kindness was helping my mom install new counter-tops in our kitchen. I helped my mom carry the counter-top to her car from the tile store. When we arrived at our house my mom looked like she was having trouble carrying the counter-top, so I helped her carry it and put it on the counter. After I helped my mom she thanked me. I felt proud that I helped my mom put together our new kitchen.

I took out the trash for my parents because they were tired from a long day of work, and that way they wouldn’t have to do it. My dad suffers from headaches sometimes, so he needs to rest after work. My dad felt proud that I am putting more effort into helping out my family. Now my new job around the house is to take out the trash, and I am enjoying it.

I helped my cousin cleanup after his graduation party ended. It was a mess, there was like a million paper plates and stuff all over the floor. I helped fold the tables, picked up the trash and rolled the speakers into the garage. I decided to help my aunt and uncle clean because they were really tired from all that they did to make the party happen. When I finished, they thanked me and gave me some food to bring home. After I finished cleaning, I felt good to have helped my family out.

A random act of kindness that I did was taking out the trash for my mom. After dinner, I saw that the trash bags were full, and nobody had taken the trash out yet. I knew that my mom was busy around the house, so I decided to go around the house and take out all the trash to help out.

My friend Michael committed suicide about a year ago. When his mom went through his phone, his screensaver said, “Make Someone Smile”. Now everyone that knows him lives by that everyday, including me. Michael’s best friend, Adam, made something called a, “Smile Card”. We pass these out to people to make them smile. Most of the time, we give them in pairs so the person has one to keep, and one to give to someone else. These cards spread awareness for Michael and helps us live on Michael’s legacy. We also pass these out to help prevent suicide in general. Over the past year, we have passed out cards, made shirts, and now have an annual “Smile Day,” for Michael. This is how I chose to spread kindness.

At my after school, I help read books to the 2nd graders and 3rd graders. Whenever I am finished with my homework assignments, I volunteer to help read to the lower grades in elementary school. I believe this is a Act of Kindness because it helps develop literacy skills and expands their understanding of language and listening skills. This also helps me with stress reduction, since I am currently in middle school and doing testing.

For my random act of kindness, I helped my math teacher with writing down grades. I asked my 8th period Finance & STEAM class teacher if I could help her with anything and she said I could help her write down the grades for the homework the day before. The feeling I got while helping her was a good feeling, like when you give someone something they like, I felt appreciated.

A  random act of kindness I did was cooking for my dad while he was sick. I felt that he was already doing a lot of work around the house and he seemed tired. So I decided to make him noodles in hopes that he would feel better. While he was resting in bed I surprised him with the noodles I made and he thanked me for doing it. It made me feel happy because I had done something to make somebody happy.

A random act of kindness that I did was looking after my little cousin. Since my uncle and aunt are busy with of work, I decided to take care of their 4 year old daughter named Ingrid. I played with her at my house and since she has a lot of toys, we played in the living room with her  kitchen (a fake play one). Soon, she got tired so she took a two hour nap while I took a break and did what I do in my free time. When she woke up, of course she was hungry, so I got her food and let her eat while watching YouTube. This is my random act of kindness by taking care of my little cousin.

For my random act of kindness I chose to donate clothing and toys that I no longer needed. I donated some of my clothes that do not fit me and all my games to a donation place called Goodwill. Goodwill is the place where you can donate clothes, toys, and other items that they then sell it at a Goodwill store and use the money to help people in need.

A random act of kindness that I did was i cooked a meal for my large family to give my mom a break because she usually cooks our meals. The meal i made was a linguine pasta with shrimp because most of my family likes pasta and even though it takes a lot of
effort to make, i knew everybody would like it. My mom was thankful for the break.
