After our class discussion on Monday I've decided to be much more open about my project. Instead of limiting and being so specific about each random act of kindness I'm just gong to look for daily opportunities for me to do different acts and be kind to someone for no reason other than trying to be a helpful, positive person.
I still want to approach each different age group but I think that will just happen automatically and at the end of the experiment I can do a comparison. I am also going to be more aware to when people are being kind to me, and do something nice. Hopefully I'll become much more appreciative to things that I don't think about.
I didn't waste any time starting this project because something very unexpected and terrible happened to my cousin in law's mother and brother last week. Her house and everything she owned was covered in ash from a house fire. Her son was living with there with his girlfriend who is pregnant. They lost everything.
My co-worker and I had the idea to donate anything we could find to help their family out. Since every month we get tips at Border Grill that get divided among the employees, we decided we should donate our tips for this month to them. It's not the biggest donation but it's something, we also asked other employees if they wanted to do the same, most said yes. A lot of people we know are also donating and giving them what they can. Instantly I felt good about this choice. It felt really good knowing I helped them out and did my part. The family are very very thankful for all the contributions that were made. They already have a house in Negaunee, with most of the stuff they need. With the money we collected at Border Grill, we're just going to get them a gift certificate so they can get whatever else they need.
