Our class participated in making cards to send to the elderly in nursing homes. The goal of this task was to provide a sense of cheerfulness, joy, and/or enthusiasm and provide a somewhat social interaction for those who might not often see it day-to-day.

# data[].attributes.body
In class we made cards for the Better Place Project. These cards will be sent to residents in nursing homes, all over the country.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed this project. As I made my letters I stopped to think about what I would want my own grandmother or grandfather to receive. I reflected on how we must value our elders and ensure they experience acts of kindness while in the nursing home.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned through this project that gestures as small as just sending a letter can really affect someone, and it’s so important to check in on those around us.

# data[].attributes.body
Our project was designed to write cards for elderly people to be sent to nursing homes in Ohio, Kentucky, and Michigan. We wrote these letters with the intention of bringing some positivity and comfort into the lives of the elderly people on the receiving end.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned from this project that the mental health of others are of the up most importance. It is also a simple thing to do but it boosts morale. Physical and mental health go hand in hand. You can't be good in one and not good in the other.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall this project was good for making me feel like I helped an individual, knowing that someone would read my letter and hopefully make their day better. I thought it was a good experience that put in perspective the lives of the elderly, who live more isolated lives and can be positively affected by seemingly little things.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to support the older and in need people of our society, because they might not have friends or family and they need to be surrounded by positivity. I think this project was important and a good reminder to contact people you haven't spoken to in a while

# data[].attributes.body
I think the BPP was a wonderful project that helps many people step outside of the bubbles that is our own world and think about others. This project made me grateful for the support system and people that I have in my life. It also helped me acknowledge that there are some people who may not be able to have someone checking in on them and sending them positivity.

# data[].attributes.body
We wrote various types of cards, including easter and get well soon cards, to be given to the elderly. These cards are going to be sent to the elderly in Ohio Indiana and Kentucky.

# data[].attributes.body
This project helped me realize how important it is to think about others and the impact it can have on those receiving these cards. It is really important to small tasks like making cards because a little thing like this can really make someone's day.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I found this project very happy and heartwarming. Knowing that something as small as writing a comforting letter to send to those who might not get as much social interaction on a day-to-day basis just because they're in a nursing home made me feel pretty happy in what we were doing. I reflected upon this, realizing that even some of the smallest social gestures could truly matter to any individual.

# data[].attributes.body
I had fun creating cards. I thought about how I would feel in there scenario, probably lonely in a nursing home, and I learned that small things matter, and that these cards hopefully made someones day a little bit better.

# data[].attributes.body
The BPP was a great way to get us students to positively interact with an organization that helped them. Not only was it important, but it was also a great experience and feeling to move a group of people. It was a generous act of kindness and I think everyone enjoyed it.

# data[].attributes.headline
Our project lent us the opportunity to spend some time in order to do something small but with larger implications. I was able to communicate a kind message accompanied by artwork in the name of this larger implication of giving back.

This experience reminded me how a small act of kindness can have a significant impact on someone's day. I reflected on how happy my grandma would be to receive one of these letters, and this encouraged me to convince my siblings to create similar letters for her.

# data[].attributes.headline
This project made me think about kindness and the impact we would be making on a stranger. People in nursing homes often have no family, so I hope my card made someone feel a little less alone in the world. The influence of doing a good deed was felt in the environment of my peers-- we all connected and worked together during the card-making process.

what we did as a class was make 1-2 cards writing to the elderly that stay at retirement homes and just wrote nice things or told them about ourselves. We did it for the reason of bringing joy to people who definitely appreciate the small things. Everyone deserves to know that there are people in their life’s that really love and care about them.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned through this project the importance of letting people know you are thinking of them through random acts of kindness. Though this wasn't necessarily random, it is comforting to know that I am positively impacting the day of someone receiving my letter.

# data[].attributes.body
Now that the project is complete, I’d really like to make letters for nursing homes again. I found it to be a great creative outlet and it made me feel good knowing my letter could brighten someone’s day. Additionally, I plan to write letters to my grandma to brighten her day. She is not in a nursing home, but it’s an act of kindness towards our elders nonetheless.

# data[].attributes.body
Through this service project, I learned how easy it was to do volunteer work and make a positive impact. Getting involved in service can be easy and it is really important to do what you can for others.

# data[].attributes.body
This project helped me learn that the smallest gestures can brighten someones day up and make them feel a lot better. It showed me that there are people, like the elderly, are very isolated and its important to support those types of people. I think that this project also addresses the mental health issues that come from being isolated that are easily overlooked.

# data[].attributes.body
After this experience I will make more of an effort to do small gestures for the elderly and others in my life to help improve their days. It also reminds me to reach out to my grandma more often and see how she is doing.

# data[].attributes.body
I am now more aware of the importance of mental health in our community. You can boost morale in simple ways like making a card or asking questions. I will apply what I learned by just asking those in my classes if they are feeling mentally well or need any one to talk to.

# data[].attributes.body
Now that the project is complete, I am going to continue to make an active effort to get involved with projects that are helping others and spreading kindness. I will apply this experience to my life by keeping people and their situations in mind. It is important to continue to spread kindness to everyone regardless of who they are.

# data[].attributes.body
Now that the project is complete, I will try to apply the perspectives I gained from the project in every day life. The elderly are truly affected by small gestures such as this, and so making strides to incorporate these kind of small gestures in my life more often would go a long way.

# data[].attributes.headline
Now, I think about what I can do to make a stranger's day a little better in my community. The project gave me insight to how small words can make a big impact. It does not take much to show a little kindness to the world.

After completing this project I realized the importance of the ones we love and supporting our community. It is crucial to spend time and talk with the people we love, and the cards we made was a great reminder. Making cards was also a fun and creative experience that I definitely would do again. The lesson I gained was that you might not have any idea the positivity you can inspire by doing a nice gesture.

# data[].attributes.body
In doing this project, I am now better understanding of how important social interactions are. It's safe to say: the lessons I've learned here will no doubt be applied in a social environment. Taking those smaller, yet extra miles (when time permitting), could even make the strongest of differences to sometimes many different individuals, and that's something I'm absolutely willing to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I will try to do more volunteer work. It is really gratifying doing something for someone when you are not getting anything in return. I also plan on trying to be nicer to the elderly because they must be lonely and when I'm older I'd want someone to do something nice for me.

The BPP is a great opportunity to allow people to give back in ways that they either didn't think of or didn't think possible. The barrier to most people from doing genuinely good things for the community is knowing what exactly to do, and the BPP helps to bridge that gap.

People in nursing homes often feel isolated, and I think after living through a pandemic, we all now know that feeling. Checking in on those around me is something I should do more, and will do more after this experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall I really liked the BPP, helping other people and making other people happy is what really makes me most happy. And the cards that we wrote will certainly have an impact on some of the people who receive them which is great to know. What I learned from BPP is that sometimes small acts of kindness can really make a difference for someone.

# data[].attributes.body
Im going to maintain a positive view on acts of kindness and helping others now that the project is complete. I'm going to continue doing them as well. I'm going to apply my experience by continuing to do small acts of kindness and help others that could potentially make their day. I've learned that it's important to help others and to spread kindness even in the most simplest ways.

# data[].attributes.body
My main takeaway from this project is that service projects and small acts of service/kindness can brighten someone's day. Because of this experience, I want to reach out to my grandma more, as well as, make a conscious effort to look for ways in which I can do someone a service or remind them how loved and appreciated they are each day.

# data[].attributes.body
After this experience, I can find more ways I can get involved in my community. As a college student and first year, I stay pretty busy and do not have my car on campus so I thought I did not have the ability to complete any service. This project showed me that there are many opportunities available to me. I hope to get involved in many more service activities like this in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
Now that this project is finished, I further understand the importance of reaching out to people and letting them know I am thinking of them. I try to do this already to those close to me, but it was nice to be able to offer this gesture to someone who I would never be in contact with otherwise. It is important to consider the mental health, as well, of the elderly in nursing homes who may not receive letters such as the ones we wrote.

# data[].attributes.body
we completed the service I began to reflect on what truly matters to me. My family and as a result I vowed to try to make efforts to be closer to my grandparents.

# data[].attributes.body
This project has raised my mental health awareness. I have learned that taking a few minutes out of your day to do an act of kindness can make a huge difference to someone else and in the future I will try to get involved in more activities like this project.

# data[].attributes.headline
This project gave me a new perspective that community work doesn't have to be just cleaning up some trash, but rather can come in simple acts like communicating with people who want that communication.

I’m hoping to continue to help with the elderly community. Since I live by many retirement homes back home I know that the homes have corn hole every saturday that are really fun to volunteer at . Overall I am glad I did the better place project.

After this service, I am now more aware of the mental health challenges that the elderly face. i will apply this newfound awareness by trying to become more involved with the elderly in nursing homes and places where the elderly could be lonely
