Saturday 12 April

Today I made a difference at tennis practice when one of the boys got stuck inside the tennis court after everyone left. I was still there and he was slightly overweight so I helped him climb the fence. I told him where to put his feet and hands so that he could get over. I know I made a difference because he thanked me many many times. I felt good to help someone in need. I think he felt relieved that I helped him and I know he was feeling this way because he was very happy that I helped him.

Today I made a difference at basketball practice when we were playing a game and one of the players in our team wasn't very good and my coach asked me if I wanted him to sub in for me if I said yes we would probably lose the match but I said yes and we didn't lose the match we won by 3 points. I know I made a difference because the look on that guy's face was amazing he felt as part of the team. I felt good that I let him sub in for me and made him feel good. I think he felt extremely happy and I know he was feeling this way because he thanked me and he had a happy look on his face.

Monday 7 April

Today I when I was walking home from school I found a dog that looked lost, it was very small and young so it wasn't house trained and I read the collar and took the dog home. The house was on the same street as mine so I didn't have to take a detour. The woman who owned the dog was in tears when I found him. I felt good that I brought someones beloved pet back to them. I think the woman felt relived and thankful that I found her dog I know she was feeling this way because the look on her face when I brought in the dog was of relief and she thanked me many times.

Thursday 3 April

Today I made a difference when I saw a lady struggling with her shopping when I was on my way home from school. I stopped to help her carry her bags to the door then she offered me $2 but I said no thank you. I felt surprised that my first instinct was to help her, this unit we have been doing has helped me be a better person. I think the lady felt shocked and happy that I stopped to help her because you don't see that much these days. I know she was feeling this way because the look on her face was both shocked and happy.
