Pay it forward
For my pay it forward my group sent letters to Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan and ask them what it was like in Afghanistan. So far we did not get a reply from them we didn't ask them to pay it forward because they have been paying it forward for years. Some of the questions my group asked were whats it like in Afghanistan, do you miss your family, in Afghanistan is in hot? Is it cold. We also said thank you for keeping us safe for all these years and that there doing a good job. I hope that one of the many soldiers in Afghanistan gets are letters and knows that every is depending on them to keep this country safe and end the conflict in Afghanistan.
Sophia's "Pay it Forward"
Part 1
The movie: "Pay it Forward"
The movie Pay it Forward is about a boy named Trevor who has this idea of helping three people after he has helped those three people he will tell them to pay it forward to three more people. Trevor is a kind of boy who believes he can do something even when someone tells him he can't. He helps a homeless person by letting him live in his garage. Soon his mom finds out and freaks out and wants to see Trevor's Social Studies Teacher Mr.S They fall in love but Trevor's dad comes back and everything is screwed up again. Trevor has an interview on Pay it forward and he becomes popular at his school. When Trevor is walking home he finds a gang bullying a little boy. He tries to stop them but he gets a knife stuck in his side and dies.
Later that day at night time people come with candles standing and crying in front of Trevor's house. The homeless person who Trever took care of helped an other person who was going to jump of a bridge. He asked if she wanted a cup of coffee with him, It only takes a little bit to make a difference. I thought it was a really sad and happy movie at the same time. I even cried three times.
Part 2
What was your "Pay It Forward" act of kindness?
My pay it forward act of kindness was going to peoples houses to shovel their front yard then give them a paper bag full of candy canes with a note that said "Pay this act of kindness to forward to others. Paying it forward is when you do something for another person without excepting something back. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year"
Why did you choose this activity?
I chose this activity because it was my second choice but then I changed it to my first one because I really wanted to make the paper bags.
Who did you help?
I helped my next door neighbour shovel their front and back yard.
What did you do?
I shoveled snow and handed out candy bags.
When did you do this act of kindness?
I did my act of kindness a couple of days before Christmas.
Part 3
How did your act of kindness go?
How did my act of kindness went? It went really bad. I was looking at front yard to front yard on four streets and only got three people. One person wasn't home so I shoveled there yard. The next person looked through the window and the last person answered the door but didn't want his yard shoveled. So a couple of days later it snowed and I didn't have time so I had to shovel my neighbours front and back yard a couple of days later.
How did you feel?
I felt pretty upset so I went down more streets but only got two yards done because I was supposed to be home in 2 hours.
How did the people react?
One person who actually opened the doors reaction wasn't mean but wasn't nice either.
Did you ask the people to "Pay It Forward"?
That was the problem. I was supposed to shovel then give them the candy bag but people said no when I asked to shovel their yards or weren't home so I didn't do that part.
Part 4
Why is the idea of "Pay It Forward" important?
The idea of "Pay It Forward" is important because there are a lot of people suffering and when we do an act of kindness it changes there lives, puts a smile on there face because of you.
Has your act of kindness made a difference?
I don't think my act of kindness made a difference but I tried.
If I had another chance to do this again my goal is to pick a day when it just snowed the night before.

Meldrick's Pay It Forward
Part 1
'Pay it Foward' is a movie about an 11-year old boy named Trevor. He gets a Social Studies assignment that says he must 'make a plan to change the world and put it into action'. He comes up with the idea of 'Paying it Forward.' If he helps 3 people and tells them to pay it forward, each of them help another three people, and another three people, and so on. The number of people helped gets really big. Trevor helps three people; a drunk who ends up saving a woman's life; his Social Studies teacher, who gets married to his mom; and a kid who is bullied a lot. Unfortunately, one of the bullies stabs Trevor, and Trevor dies (sadly).
Part 2
My act of kindness was to send a letter to a Canadian soldier. I wanted to send a care package, my mom told me to write a letter instead. I chose this activity because it's sad to think that you have to serve the army and be away from your family on Christmas. I think it's really important to show that someone cares for them. I helped a random Canadian soldier by sending them a letter. I e-mailed a letter to an e-mail address that would send the letter for me, as well as composing a letter to be mailed to a PO box. I did this on Tuesday, December 21st.
Part 3
My act of kindness went really well. I managed to send two letters online to soldiers in Afghanistan. I still have to mail the letter to the PO box. I felt really good to help a Canadian soldier with the fact that they would not be home for Christmas. I couldn't ask the soldier to pay it forward because they do that every day, serving the country and the thousands of people who live in it.
Part 4
The idea of paying it forward is important because there are always people to help, and helping another person means helping the world become a much better place to live in. I do think my act of kindness made a difference in the world, because with one Canadian soldier feeling better about serving the armed forces, it makes them all prouder to serve their country and to make the world a better place.

This scribe post is about 3 questions on pages 142 and 143.
7. Two hundred tickets are being sold for a school draw.
a) What is your chance of winning with one ticket? Express your answer as a percent.
Your chance of winning with one ticket would be 0.5% because lets say 200 tickets is 100 tickets then your chance of winning with one ticket would be 1%.
b) How many tickets would you need to purchase to have a 2.5% chance of winning?
You would but 5 tickets because if 1 ticket is 0.5% then if you buy 4 more it would equal 2.5%
13. Suppose a real estate agent receives 5% commission on the fi rst $200 000 of a house’s selling price, and 6% on the remaining amount.
a) What does commission mean?
Commission means a part of the sale price that the real estate agent would earn.

Jennily's Pay it Forward
Group Members: Katerina Ferreira.
Paying it Forward is when you do something nice to someone, then that person passes on the cheer. Paying it forward is something that everyone in the world should do. Hopefully the whole wide world will be doing this and we would be living in cheer.
My pay it forward was gong to the store and buying toys for the Christmas holidays! Me and Katerina choose this because we thought that every kid in the world should have Christmas!
I have done my act of kindness and hope to do it some more. I did this on Sunday, December 12,2012.
When me and Katerina bought the toys we each payed half.
When we started this project it was all going down hill but at the end we were on top. Katerina and I went to the children hospital at first but they were closed so we couldn't donate the toys which was really sad. We didn't know where to go so we went to many place but we couldn't donate toys to anywhere, but after we had gone to the Christmas cheer board. The the man gave me and Katerina this note that said " It's people like you who help fill the sack, to bring Christmas Cheer to those who lack.. You're now officially a Santa's Elf! You've put others first, before yourself. Please accept this sincere "Thanks"For donations given.... and showing that you care, 'Cause it's only with your help that we can " LOVE and SHARE " and " Christmas should happen for EVERYONE ". I felt good that I have helped someone in need because everyone in the whole wide world should be able to have Christmas holiday. Yes, I did ask them to pay it forward. There reaction was " what is pay it forward?"I had told them what pay it forward is and they were amazed by what this school's assignment was, I told them that its not a assignment, it is something that everyone in the world should do.
I think paying it forward is amazing because not everyone is like me and you. Paying it forward is important because people in the world don't have a family or food or even a place to live, So I am grateful for what I can do to help someone in the world. I hope the children that gets the toy is happy. Have a Happy Holiday Everyone! And always remember to PAY IT FORWARD!!
Sorry I don't have a picture because I had to leave early before taking a picture with the man.

Joshua's Pay It Forward
Part 1:
Paying It Forward means showing an act of kindness to a stranger, expecting nothing in return. In the movie ''Pay It Forward'' a boy in the 7th grade shows what Paying It Forward means. Mr.Simonette gives Trevor an assignment to Pay It Forward. He tries to help a homeless guy named Jerry. He also tries to help a kid that gets bullied. Also he tries to help Mr.Simonette and his mom to be in a relationship. When Trevor tried to help the kid that always gets bullied, one of the kids had a knife and stabbed him. The death of Trevor was very sad but the neighbourhood lit candles and gave flowers to show how they appriciate him.
Part 2:
My group's act of kindness was giving out candy canes, cards and gloves to the homeless. I chose this activity because since its Christmas we wanted to give out candy canes and cards. Osborne St. was a great place to do it because theres alot of people walking up and down that street. The gloves were for the homeless people that had no gloves and were freezing. We helped the homeless and also the elderly. We handed out candy canes with cards attached to them and gloves with labels saying, ''Pay It Forward''. We did the act of kindness on Saturday, December 18, 2010.
Part 3:
It went well I guess. We asked alot of people but they all said NO. But there was this one person that was thrilled and said YES. After that I felt happy because someone finally accepted the candy cane. It made my heart feel warm because the face that person made was priceless. It made my day. Even if it said ''Pay It Forward'' on the card and candy cane, we still said it.
Part 4:
Paying It Forward is a very special and important thing in life. It shows how one person can make a difference. Osborne is a very busy street with people lying on the ground, sleeping without a home. When you help one person, that person continues to pass it on to another person and then another person and so on. If everyone was like that, this world would become a better place. Without killing, drugs, fighting, stealing etc. With help, we can accomplish that goal. My act of kindness has made a difference. The person that was thrilled will pass on that happiness to another person and the gloves for the homeless helped them feel more warm in this cold weather.

Ana Lopena's Pay it Forward
Part 1
The movie Pay it Forward is about an 11 year old boy named Trevor. His class gets anassignment from their social studies teacher, Mr. Simonet to try and make a difference in the world. He gets this idea called pay it forward and decides to help 3 different people, then those people will help 3 more people and so on. At first he helps a homeless guy, Jerry get a job. Second, Trevor tried to stop a kid from getting bullied, but failed. Then he sets his social studies teacher up with his mom. When Trevor saw the same kid getting bullied, he tries to help him again. But one of the bullies had a knife and stabs him.
Part 2
My group's act of kindness was giving out candy canes at the mall and we donated toys to the "toy mountain" at Polo park. We decided to give candy canes out because it was the Christmas season and we wanted to spread the word about pay it forward using a sweet treat. We donated toys because we know that some kids don't get much for Christmas. We did our act of kindness on Friday Dec. 17, 2010.
Part 3
Our act of kindness went really well. When we got there we went straight to donating those toys.When we were putting the toys in a guy from clear FM was really happy about our donation and decided to give Sargent Park a shout out. At first I felt a little nervous to how the people might react to us, but after we gave some people candy canes and donated the toys I felt really good. The people were very happy about our act of kindness and was really happy about getting a candy cane, but some refused. After we gave each candy cane we said "Thank you, pay it forward!"

It's important to pay it forward because it can make people's day and put a smile in everybody's faces if it keeps getting passed on. I hope that our act of kindness did make a difference in people's lives.
John Chua's Pay it forward
Part 1:
"Pay It Forward" is a way of helping people without expecting anything in return but to tell them to help 3 other people.It's like inspiring someone who is needs help so that they help other people and the people they help, go the same thing. It is to make the world a better place to live in. This idea came from a movie called "Pay It Forward" where a boy named Trevor gets an assignment to think of way to make the world a better place. His idea is to help three people and those people help Three other people.
Part 2:
My act of kindness was to write a write a letter to a soldier from Afghanistan.I chose this to let a soldier know that we believe in them and to let them know what we think of there actions.I wrote a letter to a soldier. I wrote what I think about them and made them feel good about themselves.
I did my act of kindness today (December 19, 2010)
Part 3 :
I think my act of kindness went very well, it was better than I thought it would go. Everything went well I dropped the letter. I felt very good after I sent the letter, especially when I wrote the letter. I'm not sure how the soldier would feel but i think he would feel appreciated. I did not ask or write pay it forward because I had this feeling that there a soldier they're already doing a lot for our country.
Part 4:
I think that the idea of "Pay It Forward" is important because it's a very good plan to make the world a better place because it showing that it doesn't matter if you get anything in return but the fact that if they help other people means that its good enough. I think my act of kindness made a difference in a way because not a lot of people are sending letters to soldier thanking them for their sacrifice.

Jomer's Pay It Forward
Part 1:
Paying it forward is when you show an act of kindness to a stranger, and knowing to have nothing in return. The movie, " Pay it forward" was about a grade seven er boy named Trevor, His father would beat his mom up, which made things worst. His mom was an alcoholic. Trevor's Social Studies teacher Mr. Simonet was fully burnt from his step dad. Mr. Simonet and Trevor's mom had a thing. The teacher told the class to pay it forward. So, Trevor did. These kids would always bully Trevor's classmate, but he didn't really do anything. Until one time, Trevor stood up. Sadly The bullies had a knife. Stabbed Trevor in the stomach. He died at the age of 12.
Part 2:
My act of kindness was buying holiday cards, candy canes, and gloves. Then handing them out to anyone on Osborne. We chose this activity because we knew that there were a lot of homeless people around. Also we knew it was a busy street. When we went to Osborne. We did our act of kindness on Saturday, December 18, 2010.
Part 3:
Our act of kindness was poor. We asked over 30 people. We got the same answers. "NO!!"The first time the person said no, I felt so embarrassed and scared. But when it became the 10th person, I was frustrated. All the others that said no, had attitude with it. When we would hand the cards and candy canes out, we said " Happy holidays, Pay it forward." Some people even ignored our requested. And kept walking.
Part 4:
The idea of " Paying it forward" is so important because, It shows that not everyone are snobs. Also, it can change peoples lives. Knowing that people like us, can walk down Osborne, by ourselves in the cold weather and hand out candy canes. Even though we had a simple idea, that one person who accepted our offer, would probably pay it forward. When he tells people to pay it forward, it'll hopefully go on, and on for years to come.
I think my act of kindness did make a difference. It can show that, not only adults care about others, but children can too. Also, for all those people who declined our wonderful offer, hopefully it changes their perspective about young strangers.

Christian Andulan's Pay it Forward
Pay it Foward is a random act of kindness, and not expecting the person to do anything in return. What happens is the person can decide whether to pass on the act of kindness or not to.
My pay it forward act of kindness was to donate my old clothes. I chose this activity because I know that I shouldn't be the only one that has clothes to wear to cover my body. I guess that I helped the kids who are less fortunate. Arun and I gathered up clothes that aren't using and we dropped it off at a local Donation Centre. We did our act of kindness today, 19-Dec-2010.
My act of kindness went well, we had to drop off our donation and somebody would pick it up and the end of the day. I felt great about putting my old clothes to a use, even if it wasn't me using them. There was no one for us to ask to pay it foward.
The idea of paying it forward is important because people need to see past thinking about themselves, and should think about others just as equally. My act of kindness has made a difference.

Katerina's Pay It Foward
Pay it forward is when someone does something nice to someone they know or not and not expecting anything in return. All that happens is that when you do something nice and helpful that person can also spread cheer at any time of the year. In the end almost everyone will be either doing something nice for someone or someone will be doing good deeds for you.
My pay it forward or act of kindness is going to buy toys for kids who need it. I choose this because I think that everyone in the world should have Christmas. not just you are me, everyone. I helped kids that are poor and need a Christmas present. Me and Jennily bought toys for kids who needed them, and now because me and Jennily bought toys now a kid who wants a gift will now have one. I did my act of kindness on Sunday,December 12, 2010.
Jennily paid for half of the toys and donated it but sadly isn't in the photo.
Me and jennily's act of kindness went bad at first but in the end it got brighter. Me and Jennily at first were going to donate to the children's hospital but sadly they were closed on weekends. "Bummer". But after that we went to the Christmas Cheer Board. After I took a picture with a very kind man he gave me a note that said " It's people like you who help fill the sack, To bring Christmas cheer to those who lack.. You're now officially Santa's ELF! You've put others first,before yourself. Please accept this sincere "Thanks" ..... For donations given.... and showing that you care, 'Cause it's only with your help that we can " LOVE and SHARE " and " Christmas should happen for EVERYONE ". I felt good that I have helped some in need because everyone in the whole wide world should be able to have Christmas. The person reacted by saying thanks and of course asking what pay it forward means. Yes, I did ask them to pay it forward. There reaction was " what is pay it forward?". I finally told them what pay it forward is and they were amazed by what this school's assignment was, I told them that its not a assignment, it is something that everyone in the world should do.
I think that the idea of pay it forward is important because not everyone in the world are like you and me. Some people don't even have house or food. So in the end I think it is so important for people to have food, and even toys for little kids. I hope my act of kindness bring joy for the child or children who get it.
Don't forget to PAY IT FORWARD !
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Maya's Pay It Forward
Group members: Me, Ana Lopena, Breanna Machado, Hazel Turdanes, and Colleen Landicho.
Part 1.
Pay It Forward is when you kindly help someone without them doing something in return, but they have to pay it forward to other people. The movie, Pay It Forward was about a boy named Trevor who has an alcoholic mom. His social studies teacher, Mr. Simonet gives his class an assignment to think of how to make the world a better place. Trevor helped 3 people. He first helped a homeless person, then he helped the second person to stop getting bullied. The third task he did was trying to get his mom and Mr. Simonet to date. Sadly, in the end, Trevor dies while trying to save his friend from getting beat up by bullies. He died by getting stabbed with a knife.
Part 2.
My Pay It Forward act of kindess was going to Polo Park and handing out candy canes out to people. We chose this activity because, since it's almost Christmas, it doesn't hurt to give out candy canes to people while they're Christmas shopping and, it's also fun. When we went to Polo Park, we immediantly started handing out candy canes. We did our act of kindness after school, December 17, 2010.
Part 3.
My ac
t of kindess went really well. Once we went there, we all went to donate our toys at a hamper, and that's when people from 102.3 Clear FM talked to us, and mentioned us on the radio. Alot of people were thrilled to be getting a candy cane, but some people refused. At first, I felt really nervous because of rejection, but after a few minutes, it wasn't so bad after all. When we handed our candy canes to people, they were really happy. We asked them to Pay It Forward at the end.
Part 4.
It's important to "Pay it forward" because it can make the world a better place is if it's keep passed on, and it will have a huge impact on amount of people. I hope that, my act of kindness made a difference to them because maybe they're having a bad day, and we made their day by giving them candy canes and being so kind to them.

Kris' Pay It Forward
Part 1
The movie Pay It Forward was about a boy named Trevor who had an assignment to try to change the world. He help three people and he tells them to help three other people too. The three people were this guy named Jerry the teacher Mr Simonet and this guy that gets bullied, to help Mr Simonet, he put his mom on a date with him. Oh yeah his life is very hard because his dad left and his mom is a alcoholic.
Part 2
On December 18 2010, Brandon and I went to Isaac brook community centre to volunteer in the kitchen. In the kitchen we were giving hotdogs away, juice boxes and we helped Santa hand out candy canes too. We gave the candy canes to little kids like around 5-10 years old. Some kids were so hyper when they saw Santa. They where like jumping and saying "It's Santa". When Santa was going to leave my mom said we should take a picture with him, so we did. It was so much fun to be there. I felt good because I was helping people that i did not know and I didn't ask for any thing in return. It felt awesome when they said "thank you for helping us". I think they felt happy because at the community there wasn't a lot of volunteers and when Brandon and I went there they where happy. They just needed Brandon and I to give hot dogs and candy canes to people. No I didn't say "pay it forward" to the people there. I didn't say "pay it forward" to people because I had to give it to a person so the person can give it to the person who asked for it.
Part 3
I think it went okay because once i got there i was a little bit shy but then after a while I got use to it. It went how i predicted it to.Brandon and I was giving hot dogs and candy canes to little kids fo our Pay it forward project. I felt good because I did something good for another person and didn't ask for any thing in return. The people where happy when Brandon and i said "can we help you guys with anything, Its for a school project called Pay it foward". They said yes because they didn't have a lot of people and some people that the project was a great idea. No I didn't because we where giving the hotdogs to a person so they can give it to the person wo asked for it.
Part 4
I think its important because you wanna be nice and that's a good way to show it. You are doing this so you can make other peoples life easier and not so hard to live in. I think it did because Brandon and I did it for free and we asked nothing in return and they had a big smle on there face.
Summer's Pay it Forward
Part 1:
Pay it forward is an idea that if one person does something nice for three people then those three people do something nice for three people each and so on and so on. Eventually it turns into a big huge idea. And all it takes is one person to start it and small favors to continue it.
Part 2:
My pay it forward act of kindness was donating a bag of dog food to an Animal Rescue Centre called D'Arcy ARC. I chose this activity because i love animals and have pets so that was something that i feel strongly about and felt good doing. I helped allot of the workers and the animals. I helped the workers because they are always looking for donations so they can continue to rescue animals. I helped the animals because they have food because of me. I did my act of kindness on Saturday, December, 18, 2010.
Part 3:
My act of kindness went great it felt so good to do that them i felt liked i helped everyone at that shelter. Not just the dogs that will get the food but the workers and the cats. I got there and gave them the food and got a picture and when i was giving it in one of the workers went to the door and there was a taped up box with a cat in it. Someone just left the box and ran. I felt so bad, for that poor cat. but getting left there is better than leaving it on the street. I felt really good doing that it makes me so happy to now that i helped someone. They reacted happily and were thankful that they got that dog food. I did not ask the people to pay it forward but i taped a card shaped like a bone to the bag of dog food that said pay it forward. But they didn't ask about the card.
Part 4:
Pay it forward is an important idea because people and animals need our help and not everyone can afford clothes, food,and to go to school. But were lucky enough and need to share our good fortune especially around the holidays. I think my act of kindness made a difference because it helped people and animals.

Anna G's Pay It Forward
Group Members: Anna Gomez, Jasmin Lacap and Angelique Marcial
Part 1 :
Pay it forward is doing something to other people without them doing something in return but to pay it forward to other people. This project started when we watched a movie called "Pay it Forward." This is about a kid named Trevor, his parents are separated, his mom is alcoholic and his dad left them. Mr. Simonet their social studies teacher gave them an assignment where they have to think of an idea to change the world and put it into action. Trevor chose to help a homeless person, his classmate from getting bullied and he tries to get his social studies teacher and his mom dating. He helped 3 people and ask them to do the same to 3 more people. One day a journalist found out that Trevor is doing a project about paying it forward, and they interviewed him. He shared how he feels about helping other people and how he can make a difference to other peoples life. It was kind of sad because Trevor died after getting stabbed by the bullies for helping his classmate.
Part 2:
Our group chose to help people shovel their sidewalk. We chose this activity because we though it would be fun and this is one way to make other people happy. We helped three strangers and one of them is Angelique's neighbour. We did our act of kindness yesterday December 18, 2010
Video of our Pay It Forward project
Part 3:
Our act of kindness went well. I was really happy that I helped other people without them doing something in return. They were really happy that we shoveled their sidewalks. Before we did our act of kindness we asked them first. We gave them Christmas Cards and candy canes that says pay it forward. One thing that made my day was when one of the house owner said that we cheered her up and she had a big smile on her face. One of them also said that she will be paying it forward. I was also happy that they appreciate the Christmas card we gave them.
Part 4:
Pay it forward is important because you're doing something nice to other people, you're helping them and you're trying to make a difference on their lives. Instead of putting yourself first before others. I am really happy that as a kid I can change the world or change other peoples life. I think we did an awesome job shoveling. I hope in the future, kids like us will do the same thing and will be paying it forward.
No one is too young to make a difference to other peoples life. Even a little thing can change their world and make them happy.
Remember to "PAY IT FORWARD"
Happy Holidays guys!

Hazel's Pay it Forward
Part 1
Part 4
"Pay it Forward" is a movie about an eleven year old boy named Trevor, he comes from a troubled home. At school, Trevor and his class are introduced to Mr. Simonet, the new Social Studies teacher. Mr. Simonet gives the class an assignment: To come up with an idea on how to make the world a better place, then put it into action. This is when Trevor came up with the idea of "Pay it Forward" He would help three people and then ask them to Pay it Forward to three more people, each. So that makes nine and it keeps going and forms a chain. On Trevor's first act of kindness, he brings a homeless man named Jerry into his home and helps him find a job. Next, he tries to set up Mr. Simonet and his mom Arlene. Lastly, he tries to rescue his friend from the bullies at school. He gets stabbed by one of the bullies and dies in the end.
Part 2
To pay it forward my group (Maya, Ana, Colleen, and Breanna) and I donated toys to a local toy drive sponsored by 102.3 clear FM and gave out candy canes. We donated toys
because there are some children out there who don't get much for Christmas. Then we walked around Polo Park and 
handed out candy canes to strangers. That was really fun, and we were pretty good at it too. We did our acts of kindness on Friday, December, 17, 2010.

Our acts of kindness went really well. When we donated the toys, a guy from 102.3 clear FM asked us if we wanted to enter a contest to win a trip to Mexico. We told him "No thank you, we are from Sargent Park and all we're doing is Paying it Forward". After that, he told us to follow him and he talked to someone, then he told us " You girls will be mentioned on the radio, I like what you are doing, thank you". We replied with "You're welcome and Pay It Forward". When we were handing out candy canes, we did pretty good. We saw lots of smiles, and made someone's day. There were also some people who didn't want one and people who thought we wanted something in return.
Part 4 The idea of Pay It Forward is important because it teaches people that one person or a simple act of kindness can make a big difference towards making the world a better place.
I really hope that my acts of kindness made a difference.
