Day 17

On Saturday I made a difference by helping one of the boys when he had hurt his eye. I know I made a difference because he smiled afterwards. It made me feel good because I had been nice and friendly.

P.S Saturday was my last day of my 17 day difference and so this probably my last blog post :(.
BUT, It doesn't mean I won't be making a difference anymore, I will still be doing my best to be a good citizen and hopefully you will too!!!

Day 16

I have been at a camp all weekend and haven't been able to do any posts so I am doing it today. On Friday I made a difference by helping carry my friend's bags to his tent. I know I made a difference because I could tell by the look on his face that he wasn't expecting me to help him. It made me feel good because I had done a nice thing, but also tired because his bag was heavy!

Day 15

Today I made a difference by fixing the internet connection on my Dad's computer when he needed to use it. I know I made a difference because it would have taken him a while to fix it himself and he had other jobs to do. It made me feel happy because I had helped him.

Day 13

Today I made a differerence by helping my friend pick feijoas at from the feijoa tree at his house when he was asked. I know I made a difference because aferwards he smiled and said "thanks". It made me feel quite good and I probably wouldn't have usually helped him.

Day 12

Today I made a difference by helping set the table before dinner. I know I made a difference because it is not something I usually do as I am usually in my room at that time. And so after completing it I heard a nice 'thank you' from my Dad. This made me feel great as I had just been a help.

Day 11

Day 8

Today I made a difference by making chocolate pudding with a side of peaches for dessert. I know I made a difference because everyone complimented how delicious it was and I know it saved my Mum having to make it herself. It made me feel nice because I had done a nice thing for my Mum and the rest of the family.

Day 7

I was a bit tired today but, nevertheless I still made a difference by tidying up our family room after my sister had strewn books, toys and newspapers all over the floor. I know I made a difference because afterwards when my Dad came in he was somewhat amazed. I could tell by the look on his face that he wasn't expecting a tidy room. Afterwards I felt even more tired, but at the same time pleased that I had done myself and the family a favor.

I felt good because I did something nice and I know he appreciated my help.

Day 4

Today I made a difference by tidying up our lounge when it was a mess. I know I made a difference because my Mum and Dad were busy doing other things and didn't have time to clean it up but when I told my Dad I had tidied it he was surprised and thankful because if I hadn't done it he or Mum would have had to. It made me feel good when I had done it because I know it helps my parents have one less thing to do.

Day 3

I know I made a difference because afterwards my Mum thanked me, and I could tell she was relieved to have some of the load taken off her shoulders as she was quite busy doing work.
