Day 17: Friday, July 4, 2008

Today is the last day of 17 days to make a difference. I have decided to do something big to round it all off.

What I did to make a difference was that I folded the laundry. No one in my family enjoys doing that, and usually the job gets dumped on me. However today, I volunteered to do it, and even though my mum growled at me for nothing at all, I kept my mouth shut and kept folding.

No body said thank you, but its alright because I feel happy that I spent a good 10 minutes doing something I hated doing.

Day 16: Thursday, June 3, 2008

Today my mum had to go out, so she asked me to make dinner. Since I was thinking about what I could do to make a difference, I said yes. Then, mum started giving me all these complicated instructions about how to boil brocolli and how to turn on the oven and cook the fish fingers.

I made dinner as best as I could, and I hope that it'll be ok. I know I made a difference because mum really had to go out, and she'll be late if she had to cook dinner. I know she appreciated it because before she left, she said thank you, Angeline.

Day 15: Wednesday, June 2, 2008

I did two good deeds today. My first good deed was that I stacked Clyde's chair for him. Even though I think he saw me doing it, he didn't say thank you.

My other good deed was that it was chilly and my mum was outside, tidying the car. I offered to help, but she said no. So instead, I made two hot cups of soup for her and me. I know I made a difference because she said thank you Angeline, I really appreciate it.

Day 14: Tuesday, July 1, 2008

I slept pretty well last night, so I was in an ok mood this morning. What happened was that it was time to leave the house for school, and I had left my school bag in the kitchen, so I had to grab it before getting in the car. When I got my bag, I noticed Austin's lunchbox on the counter, and I knew that he must have forgotten to put his lunch inside his bag.

Usually I would have just yelled for Austin to come get his lunch, but today I didn't. Instead, I grabbed the box and the bag of chips that came with it and took it with me to the car. Mum and my brothers were waiting inside the car for me. I gave Austin's lunchbox to him.

I know I made a difference because he said thank you and mum also said thank you. If I hadn't brought Austin his lunch and left it in the kitchen, he would have to go hungry today and no one likes to be hungry.

Day 13, Monday, June 30, 2008

I'm finally finished with science fair, so I have a bit more time. My kind deed of the day was that I made my dad's lunch for tomorrow. Usually he makes his own the night before, and then puts in in the fridge, but today, when I saw him putting the vegies into his lunchbox, I offered to do it instead.

So I put chicken, potatoes, salmon and vegies into his lunchbox and I made sure he had plenty of sauce. I know I made a difference because he said thank you.

I also cleared the dishes from the table and stacked them neatly into the right side of the sink for my brother to wash. He is very particular about which side of the sink the dishes are on. Even though it is my job to clear the table on Monday nights, I made sure I did it nicely.

Day 12: Sunday, June 29, 2008

Today my family and I went out into the city for lunch. Me and my mum needed to go toilet, and my good deed was that I held the door open for another lady who was also in the toilet.

I know I made a difference because she had wet hands and its not nice to touch the door handle with wet hands because you'll get the handle wet.

Even though she didn't say thank you, she smiled at me!

Day 11: Saturday, June 28, 2008

My kind deed of the day wasn't exactly what you'll call big, because I am very, very busy with science fair homework.



What I did was that I drawed the blinds in my brother's bedroom, and made Amos' bed.


I know I made a difference because Amos rarely ever make his bed, and mum has to nag him to do it. And after doing that, I brushed Amos' hair for him. He hardly ever brushes his hair either!

Amos must have felt pleased that I made his bed for him because he's not very good at making beds.
