Tell Us Your Good Deed

One day at lunch in school, this girl from one of my classes walked right up to my friend sitting next to me and just started to pour out the contents of the entire milk carton all over her head. I quickly stood up in my friend's defense, when the girl asked me if I had a problem. I bluntly explained that I did, because what she did was completely random and absolutely uncalled for. She pointed to my face, and said that her and I were to fight after school. While I agreed, as soon as the last bell rang, I hopped on my bus home as fast as I could.

Why are you participating?

I once read from a brilliant poet that "There are ways of understanding people that do not require words. And if you look close enough you could see, a lot of life and a little bit of death burning through their eyes.

I gave a man who looked down and out, my breakfast sandwich and some cash. I paid for someone's groceries who didn't have enough money to buy all her groceries.

Why are you participating?

I want to be part of a positive community of people who look at people first and remember they are someone's son, daughter, mother, etc. Not to judge, but to think first before being negative.

I am currently student teaching in a first grade classroom. Every day I treat my students with respect and compassion because I want to see them grow to be the best that they can be. They may just be 5 and 6 years old but they are already so smart and so thoughtful!

I always try to look at both sides of the story putting myself in the other's shoes as best I can. I think this is the only way we can truly achieve harmony. Not always successful, but it is my goal.

Why are you participating?

As a librarian I always say, you can't judge a book by its cover. Let's not judge people by their labels either.

Just the other day while shopping in the craft store, I looked down and saw a $5 dollar bill. I then said out loud, "Did anyone lose money?" People looked at me and shook their heads No. I then told the cashier and she picked it up and saved it in case anyone was looking for it.
