Day 17

Today I cleaned up the jam incident in the fridge. It was all over the slot that held the jam container. Normally I would just leave it for Mum to clean up. She said "WOW!" when she saw me cleaning it up. I feel that my family and friends have really noticed the change in attitude within me.

Day 16

Today my good deed was to take out my sisters plates. She was again feeling ill and didn't want to get up. She said "thanks". She was very grateful. I felt proud that I helped my sister.

Day 15

Today, my sister was feeling very sick, so when we were at pony club I opened the gate for her twice so that she could stay in the car and keep warm. She didn't say anything but I think that she was thankful. I felt like she was happy that I did this.

Day 14

Today in the morning I made mum a coffee and made her breakfast. She was getting ready for work and was a bit late. She said, "thank you!" and was very pleased. I felt astonished on how happy she was and pleased that she was happy.

Day 13

Today my sister came back from a three day school trip and she was at school ready to be picked and I loaded up the car for her so that we could go straight from picking her up. Mum and my sister both said "thank you". They were both glad that I did this. I felt happy that my sister was happy after her long 5 hour journey from the place that she was staying.

Day 12

Today I jumped at the chance to help a visitor at the school. He had three boxes he was going to carry into the office at school ,so Cindy, Alan and I went up to him and asked him if he needed any help. He said "yes" and that he was very pleased about the service in the school. We told him about this project and he thought that it was a great idea. We all felt very happy about how pleased he was.

Today I also brought my dad in a glass of water after he had mowed the lawn, he was tired and thirsty and thanked me.

Day 11

Today my good deed was to wash my mums car. It was dirty and needed a clean. I could tell that mum was happy because she said "well done" and "thank you" . I feel like everyday that I am getting more and more recognized as a nicer person because I am doing these good deeds.

Day 10

Today my good deed was to unload the dishwasher. I helped out my sister, Amy because it was her turn to do it. I could tell she was thankful because she said "thanks". I feel like I am really making a difference doing all of these good deeds.

Day 9

Today my good deed was to do something very honest. I was at the dairy and I gave the clerk a $10 note but the clerk mistook it for a $20 note. She was about to give me the incorrect change and I said, "excuse me but I gave you a $10 note." She was very grateful and said "thank you." I felt very proud of myself because I did a good deed that affected someone outside of my family.

Day 8

Today I decided to, give up the computer I was working on to someone else that needed it. I could really tell that they were thankful because they practically screamed out thank you. I felt happy that I did this because they really wanted the computer and I just thought okay why not.

Day 7

Today my good deed was to, untack wash down and release Dougal (a horse). I helped out a girl named Nadia because she was kicked by another horse and was too sore to do these things for herself. I felt like I really helped her because she was busy putting ice on her leg and she didn't have to worry about Dougal.

Day 6

Today my good deed was to pick up rubbish during the day. I picked up rubbish at morning tea, at lunch and on the way home. I helped our environment and made it a little less full of litter. I felt very proud because this time I did an anonymous task (I didn't get any thanks and no one knew who did it.)

Day 5

My good deed today was to put out the rubbish. I know I made a difference because whoever was going to put out the rubbish wont have had to and they had time to do what they wanted. I once again felt proud that I did this because I feel that every little thing that I do adds up into something big. The person I helped must have felt relieved because it was one less thing that they had to worry about.

Day 4

Today my deed was to make breakfast in bed for my family. I knew that they were grateful because they didn't have to get up early to make breakfast. The whole family said that it was delicious. I felt happy that I did this because Mum and Dad were very happy that I did this deed. Dad and Mum must have been happy about getting a Sunday breakfast in bed.

Mum and Dad are very happy about this project and ask me everyday who is going to be the recipient of the days good deed!

Day 3

Today my good deed was to cheer on a little girl (about three years old) down the water slide. She was very nervous and wasn't moving down the side at all. Her Mum couldn't help because she was at the bottom of the slide waiting for her. Today I didn't make a difference as such but I calmed her down and helped her conquer her fear. I felt proud when I helped her because she wasn't going to do it and she wasn't going to have fun if she hadn't done it. The little girl must have been so brave to go down the slide and I think that she was greatful that I helped.

Day 2

Today I decided to make dinner for the family and replace all of the rubbish bags. I helped Mum again today because she usually makes dinner and she would have been the one to have replaced the rubbish bags if I didn't. I know that I made a difference because Mum gave me a big hug and said "thank you!" when I did the rubbish and she had a huge smile pasted across her face when I was making dinner. I felt really good when I did these things because Mum has so many things to do and I feel proud being able to help her just a little bit by doing these two things. Mum must have felt so relieved when she didn't have to worry about what to do for dinner!

I am looking forward to tomorrow and already have an idea about what to do.

Day 1

Today, my good deed was to feed, brush and play with our three cats. Mum usually feeds them and Dad normally plays with them. I know that I made a difference because Mum and Dad were relaxing while I helped with the cats. I also know that I made a difference because the cats weren't meowing because they wanted food or attention. I felt happy when I did this good deed because the cats were happy. I felt proud because feel that I made a small difference today.I know that I helped Mum because she said "thank you" and that I was a help. I think that the cats were also happy that I did this because they all had silky coats, full tummies and were playful.

I am looking forward to tomorrow and I am already planning what I am going to do tomorrow.
