For This act of kindness I help an older woman at Park Royal by opening the doors for her.I did this because I noticed that she was struggling opening the door. This made me feel happy because its not everyday that you get to help an older woman.

For this kindness blog I helped my brother Taylor out by walking the dog for him when he had lots of homework. I choose this act of kindness because he looked like he was stressed out because of his homework. It made me feel happy because me and my brother aren’t that close but since i did that it made us closer and he respects me more. I think this made him feel relived because now he can just focus on his homework and not focus on walking the dog.

A few weeks ago while it was snowing. While it was snowing I was sledding and I noticed an older person that looked like he was struggling shovelling his driveway.

I think this made him feel happy because when I left he said thank you with a smile on his face.
