Day 18-reflect

Through this I have learned that you can always be a good citizen and that it is not as simple as I thought it would be. To be a good citizen you must not do these things only when asked. This is called initiative. even though you can easily be a good citizen many people choose not to. So all of those "Gangsters" and "Taggers" It is a bad thing to damage someones property and so instead you can do something to help the community.

Day11

Today I helped my grandad fix a door and I earned 3000 grains of rice for poor people at freerice.com. I think that the people who got the rice were thankful. I really enjoyed doig the free rice quiz.

Day 10

today some people in our class organized a birthday party for my teacher, And everyone had to bring some food and put a dollar towards his present. He gave his thanks to everyone, I rather enjoyed today and It feels good to do something nice for someone.

Day 9

Today I Did the folding, took out the compost and vacuumed the house.I think that my family appreciated me doing some of their obs for them. The vacuuming I thought was really time consuming.

Day 8

Today I took out food scraps to the recycling about three or four times and I did the folding. I think that my mum liked It that I did her job for her. It took up a lot of time to fold everything.

Day 7

today I emptied the dishwasher and I took out the recycling. I think that my brother really apreciated me taking out the recycling for him. It was relatively simple to take out the recycling but it still gave the feeling of completing something.

Day 6

Today I was still at my grandparents and so for when my relatives came over I; set the table, folded the napkins, vacuumed (again) and I helped watch my baby cousins for my aunties and uncles. I am sure that all of the adults appreciated that I watched their children for them. I really enjoyed it and petra and lauren (the babies) are really playful and energetic.

Day 5

Today I did the dishes, vacuuming, set the table and did the leaf vacuum thing. I am sure that my Grandma and Grandad really appreciated it because they thanked me when I did the jobs for them. It felt really good to help them.

Day 4

Today I was sick so I only did some filing for my dad. I am sure he appreciated it because that was one thing he didn't have to for his work. It felt nice to do something instead of just sitting there.

Day 3

Today I cleared the dishwasher twice and I cooked dinner. (lasagna) I know i made a difference for my mum thanked me because she got to take a break and relax instead of making dinner. I felt good about this because I could help someone and I like to cook.

Day 2

today I earnt 2000 grains of rice for starving people at Freerice.com and i planted some oak saplings to help against carbon dioxide pollution. I know I made a difference because that someone somewhere got enough rice to survive for a day. It feels good to help because I know that I did something worthwhile to help humanity. I am sure that whoever got the rice is happy that they got a meal.

Day 1

Today I cleaned the windows, I brought my mum a glass of water and some paracetamol because she is sick with the flu (not swine flu) and I emptied the dishwasher. I made a difference because my mum was stuck in bed all day and so I think it helped her get better even though it may not be very much. I liked doing all these jobs (although washing the windows did get a bit repetitive) and it was a good use of time.
