Final ReportIn this project, I had to help people as an act of kindness. I could help my mom, someone at a store, or some other family member. The project seems simple enough, but for some it?s hard and long, even though you had a certain amount of time.
One of my favorite acts of kindness was to help a girl get into a truck. She was injured from a cheerleader accident, and her ankle was broken slightly. It would have taken her a few months for it to heal properly, so I felt bad and helped her into the truck. Not only that, but I helped close the door for her, as soon as she was in.
About two weeks ago, we had a sub in our Psychology class. I helped her out by trying to find a section in a tape about the Brain. It took most of the hour, considering the length of all the Channel One episodes in the same tape. I felt ok in this act, but I wasn?t REALLY happy. I felt more neutral than my previous task.
I had one act of kindness that I had to help my mom bring in the groceries. I was tired after bringing in all the food, but mom said: ?Thank-you? and that really cheered me up. I wanted to help her more, but she said that was it.
Overall I helped a few people here and there, but I really didn?t like this project. Sure, for some it?s easy to do acts of kindness? However, if you are like me, you wouldn?t want to help people out. One day they?ll like you for your deed, and the next they?ll hate you. You can?t always please someone for doing an act of kindness. Some people will reject your acts of kindness, even if you do something really good. People cannot be pleased with kindness, and most don?t like to return the favor. Not everyone loves to spread kindness, like myself, since we?ve done it in the past, and yet people yell at you.
This project doesn?t improve psychological health. After about the 5th or 6th assignment, I felt really depressed and moody. I hate to give kindness, because almost everyday I?m bombarded by hate from the school. I given up on the whole idea of being kind, considering other teachers themselves couldn?t control their ?moods? and be kind. People can?t be kind once they are hit enough times by other people?s anger.
Well I did tell her the truth, but I got some more to finish..
