This story gave me a warm feeling when i read it last night. it is about a teenage girl and her promise to herself. she made a new years resolution to help someone everyday. She has helped an old lady clean an attic, volunteered at the homeless center and or simply held doors open.
I admire her so much for being able to keep her promise. People usually give up their new years resolution after a couple of weeks but for her to keep it this long is amazing. she made sure she was doing it to benefit not herself but other people. With so many negative things in this world, its amazing to see this kind of positive deed.

The is a wonderful resolution and I wish we had more people in the world like that. I am glad to see somebody being selfless and helping others.
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree, I wish more people, even myself, could do more to help others. Last year, a teacher of mine had us go out for September 11th and do a good deed for a grade. I gave free hugs at the Union. It made me feel good, and made the 100s of people I hugged feel better, and the ones I didn't hug smiled as they walked by. So in a way, I touched them too. The common reason why people help in the first place is out of fear of the mortality of their souls and death. Selfish reasons, like mine was to get a "A". I know it might not be the first thing that pops in your head when you help a old lady cross the street, but it's like a underlying push hidden within ourselves.
