Kiara's Pay it Forward

Part 1

What is "Pay it Forward"?

Pay it Forward is about helping people. It's about making a difference to other people. Being kind to other people. Helping people you know and don't know. Trying to influence the people you helped into  helping other people as well. When you help this person or help many people you don't want anything in return. 

Part 2 

What was your Pay it Forward "act of kindness" 

I did Pay it Forward with my friend Jessica. For my Pay it Forward act of kindness Jessica and I shovelled 17 walk ways on our street. 

Jessica and I also collected a full bag of pennies. For the Free the Children. 

Why did you choose this activity? 

We chose this activity because Jessica and I didn't know what to do. So we where thinking and thinking then we saw our neighbour Margret shovelling. So then we decided to shovel snow for almost everyone on out street.

We also chose the penny activity so a person from the 3rd world countries can have clean water for the rest of their life. 

Who did you help? 

We helped the people on our street. Such as Margret, Lisa, Trevor, And Horrace and many others. 

For the pennies we decided to do more because shovelling snow wasn't enough already. We helped someone who doesn't have clean water in the 3rd world country and now they do for the rest of their life time. 

What did you do? 

We shovelled snow for our neighbours. So they didn't have to go threw back pain and stuff. 

We also collected pennies at Wal-Mart. We filled a whole bag of pennies. So now someone who doesn't have clean water now does for the rest of there life. 

When did you do your act of kindness?

We did our act of kindness on November 30, 2012 and December 1, 2012.

For the pennies we did our act of kindness on December 1st, 2012 at like 6:30 pm

Part 3 

How did your act of kindness go?

I think Jessica and I did very well. Our goal was 15 walk ways but we ended up doing 17. Which made us really proud that we made our goal. Our other goal was to fill a full bag of pennies in which we did.  

What Happened? 

We shovelled snow for our neighbours. Which is helping our community. While we where shovelling we where asked if we anted money and hot chocolate. We denied it and said thank you for the offer but we don't want anything in return. 
At Wal-Mart we asked people that where coming out for pennies. For someone who doesn't have clean water can now for the rest of there life. 

How did you feel? 

I feel good about myself because we shovelled snow for elders so they wouldn't slip and fall. Which happened a lot last year. Like what I said before we where offered money and hot chocolate we denied it and said thank you for the offer but we don't want anything in return. 

How did the person or people react? 

The people where very thankful on what we did. Because most people don't help the community. Also they were very thankful so they didn't have to go threw the pain from shovelling and be really sore. 

Some people didn't know what to say. Others said that it is amazing how young we are and we are already trying to make a difference in the world. 

Did you ask the person or people to "Pay it Forward"? 

No we forgot to. 

If you did not ask the person to "Pay it Forward how come? 

We forgot. 

How did they react to your request? 

We forgot to ask them. 

Part 4

Why is the idea of "Pay it Forward" important? 

It is important because people forget sometimes to do something nice for others. So if you start doing it then others will too. Because you have influenced then. Then Paying it Forward will be a trend. 

Has your act of kindness made a difference? 

Yes it has because now all the people can walk from there car to their house safely. 

Also for the pennies it has also because now people can realize how people live in those countries and now they can help them.

What is Pay it Forward?

Pay it Forward is when you do an act of kindness to someone, and you do it without asking anything in return. It all starts with one person helping three other people, and each of those three people help three more other people. The chain goes on and on, then we all realize that we can make a big difference in the world.

What is your Pay it Forward act of kindness?

My Pay it forward act of kindness was to donate more than twenty books to the Children’s Library located at Health Science Center. And, my partner Bianca Lingal also donated about thirty books too!

Why did you choose this activity?

I chose this activity because..... I had some books that I have already read that were just lying on the shelves, and so Bianca and I came up with this great idea of donating it to a library, which in that case the Children’s Library.

I helped the library in the hospital and also helped the kids read new exciting books that I have brought for them. These books that I have donated are in good condition and they are enjoyable to read. These books will go to the LIbrary and the waiting rooms in the hospital.

What happened?

What happened was it that we went to Children's Hospital, and then we met with Emma the director of the library. We thought that we would be there longer but it only took at least three minutes to make a differrence. She was very thankful that we donated a pretty good amount of books and then we told her next time we might do this again and add in toys.

How did you feel?

I felt excited that were doing this act of kindness because when I saw all the books we donated, I felt like I wanted to donate more. After we donated, there was this happy place in my heart that makes me want to do another good thing everyday for the rest of my life!

Cheryl's Pay It Forward

Part 1

What is "Pay it Forward"
Pay it forward is about about helping other people. It's about being kind to people and not wanting anything in return. Once you start  helping people, you want to influence them into doing nice things for other people too. It's about passing on the message of "random acts of kindness". You don't just have to pass on the message with people you do know, but you can even pass it on to people you don't know.

I did Pay it Forward with my friends Patricia and Jasmine. Our Pay it Forward act of kindness was to give goodie bags to the children at the "Children's Hospital". 

Why did you choose this activity?

When we got to the hospital we got to talk to a lady that worked there. We told her why we were there and that we wanted to give the children at the hospital goodie bags. She was happy to hear that we wanted to give goodie bags to the children. Unfortunately, we couldn't personally give the goodie bags to the kids. Instead she said that she'll give it to them.

How did you feel?

I felt good that we got to do something nice for the kids at the hospital, but I felt kind of sad when we couldn't give them their gifts in person.

How did the person or people react?

The lady who worked there thought it was nice that we wanted to give things to the kids at the hospital.

 We made a difference in a child's life by giving them goodie bags with different things inside them that would make them happy and smile.
