Today I made a difference by tidying my room. It's one less thing for mum to nag me about! This helped her because it makes it easier for her if I'm good. She was pleased with my effort so I could tell that I made a difference.
Tonight I helped Mum out by cooking the fish for tea and serving them. This helped her because she had one less thing to do - a weight off her mind. I know that I made a difference because she gave me a hug and thanked me which made me feel glad that I helped.
Today I bought Mum a muffin. We were at netball and she had left it at home. I was going to get a sausage anyway, so I bought her a blueberry muffin. She was very grateful. I know this because she thanked me and I could see that she enjoyed it which was enough proof for me.
Today I made a difference by helping Mum with the dishes. I loaded the dishwasher for her. After all, two people work faster than one! I know that I made a difference because I normally don't want to do the dishes. Today though, I did it willingly. When I had finished, Mum said thankyou and gave me a big hug. It made me feel good to have helped.
Today I made a difference by being kind to my brother. I gave him a piece of my Easter egg. However, I didn't expect anything back. I know that this pleased him because he told me that he thought that that was a good idea, in German. This was enough proof to know that I had made a difference.
Hi! Welcome to my blog - Nicola's 17 Day Challenge. My class has decided to do one thing that makes you a good citizen over the next 17 days. We are studying Citizenship. I will reflect every day on this blog on how I have changed somebody's life by being a good citizen, and i would really appreciate it if you left a comment or signed my guestbook! (soon to be here!)
As part of our Inquiry unit, Room 9 from New Zealand has decided to put our topic on Citizenship into practice. We have the challenge of performing one kind deed for each day for 17 days, starting from the 27th of March, 2008. Follow us as we blog our Citizenship journey.
