Working For Free

Mark was looking for work because he was down on his luck and was willing to work for any amount of payment. After I explained that I was unable to do it myself and didn't have money to pay him, he offered to do my yard work for free. I accepted his offer and let him get to work. When I came back outside to check how he did, he had done so much more work than I had asked of him! My yard was beautiful again. He obviously spent hours working on it and did a really nice job.

Starting My Last Year Off Right

This summer I decided to challenge myself. I decided to work on a project all by myself in hopes to spread kindness. With the help of two non-profit kindness organizations, I was able to spend my summer creating 670 goodie bags. Each bag consisted of candy, a pencil, a pack of gum, a motivational quote, and a kindness card. Anonymously, I handed out all 670 bags to the teachers and students at my high school on the first day of my senior year. The smiles I witnessed that day made the countless hours on this project worth it. I took all of the extra bags to my former elementary school to make the teachers smile. Many people believed this random act of kindness was a college project, but I was just wanting to make the first day of school unforgettable for everyone!
