Kindness starts with one donation

One day a man was thinking, "Maybe I should donate because I'm not poor anymore and because someone donated to me and changed my life?"The man walked along the street for a while until he found someone, the man that he found was curled up with a sign that said "Please donate, I have no food or water and am...

Working Together

In my fifth grade class, my friend needed help. He needed to finish the math homework on time so we worked together on it. Once we got started he seemed to get the hang of it which made it easier for both of us. After some time we realized we had a problem: we were missing a piece of the...

Kindness 1 Spoonful At A Time

I've shown kindness to people by working at the local soup kitchen. We make soup for the homeless and others who couldn't afford food. I helped make the soup, but I also played with a kid that was there. It was fun and it made his day.

Mom & Dad

My mom and Dad always give me random acts of kindness. I mean they brought us into this world, right? That's random. They get me stuff I didn't know I wanted. They have raised me and brought me in. They trust me with almost everything I do. They let me have fun, play games, hang out with my friends, and...

This may seem gross to some, but I knew I was helping everyone on earth feel better. And not just that, but also the...

Fixing My Scrape

One quiet day, I was at Rehoboth Beach with my family and grandparents. It was almost dinnertime so we decided to take a walk/scooter ride around the neighborhood. I was having fun riding my scooter with my sister. She started to tell me to ride the scooter like a skateboard and it looked like it was fun and easy so...

Running to Beat Cancer

One morning my mom came across a website to sign up for a 5k run to donate to cancer. As soon as my mom heard this idea, she loved it. She told me that she wanted to do it, and so did I. I've been doing it for three years now and every year I do it I get really excited....

Healing Pains

One day I was at the bowling alley with my friends. We were having a pretty good time playing and eating. Then in the middle of the game my stomach started to hurt, but I ignored it . Later in the game my stomach started to hurt even more so I sat down. My friends noticed it and they asked...
