Little Acts of Kindness, Big Rewards
Generosity, compassion is a act of kindness, given from your heart and not expecting anything in return. My best friend was going through a really rough time at her residents with her family, so I offered her to stay with me because shes family and my eyes also, if the shoe was on the other foot she would do the same. When i surprise people or just want to see a smile on there face I choose random days, No birthday or holidays because it's a dead give away its expected. So after high school I moved to Tallahasse Florida where I stayed with my cousin Maze. My mother supported me I had no job and sometimes I would go over my budget with her credit card, I was a little irritated every time I would swipe her card she would call and question me about what I spent the money on, which she had every right to do. In between time I got hired at the mall no one knew, I wanted it to be a secret into I knew for sure that I had my foot in the door. Randomly I started sending my mother cards with poems and money thanking her for everything she has done and still does for me and that I appreciate an is willing to give back and express how I feel to her so that we can bond and build our relationship as mother and daughter. With me doing good deeds for my mother and and friends made me want to give back to the community and families that are that are less fortunate. I was feeling in powered by the way I felt spiritually I was floating on the clouds of kindness. I started reaching out more to my grandparents, nephews and cousins that I never meet, so I set up a date for a cook out at my grandmothers to talk to my family and let them know that I love each and everyone of them and I thank them for there support with holding our family together sticking through the rough

    For some people they have the best life and get everything they need and want for themselves. For some people on the other hand they don't have it that way and get the short end of the stick. For the people you see and help It comes straight from the heart because they don't have it easy and from me to them I realize that by helping them just a little it could jumpstart them to a fresh life and show them we care. I realize that I have as much as I need and I always ask my parents for money and to go out places but some people don't even have homes or food to provide and eat. By helping out a needing hand it makes me realize that I don't need everything in the world and it should help other people realize to that by looking at the life you have if you're rich or wealthy to help someone in need is the right thing to do and what I like doing best.…

    Generosity in Beowulf

    As people mention the virtue, generosity, they always conceive of an image of a wealthy philanthropist who donates his money to people in need. However, in my opinion, the concept of generosity exceeds the narrow connotation of giving to others, and not only can rich people become generous; rather, generosity comprises of empathy to share others’ feelings, magnanimous tolerance towards other people, and returning to them with kindness.…

    A civil rights activist named Martin Luther King Jr. once declared “He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.” King contemplates the issue of those who choose to condone the evil and injustice they see in the world, stating that those who grow complacent with the evil are comparable to those who cause the evil themselves. He condemns those who stand passively as others are mistreated or taken advantage of. In the same vein, an Irish salesman by the name of Edmund Burke proclaimed “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”…

    As a child I have always wanted to help other people.When I was 8 my parents decided to separate. At the time, my mother decided to move my sister and I away from Chicago. My mother packed our luggage and decided to move us to Detroit. That wasnt the only time we moved, we moved four times while I was growing up, all over the country and even to another continent. Eventually we had to leave our mom in Nigeria and my sister and I went to Detroit. When we got to Detroit my aunt didn't hesitate to make us feel comfortable. It was just something about it,I still didn't feel right. I called my mother one day crying to her and explaining how we didn't like being there. After talking to her, I felt that it was time to go back to Chicago. I called my dad, (knowing I haven’t spoke/seen him for many years) and explained to him the situation on how we felt uncomfortable in Detroit.…

So since they do this it makes me work harder at school to show that I am appreciative to what the teachers have done for my peers and I.

    My close-knit community, the Ismaili Muslim community, has always been there for me since birth. Since birth, my community has taught on how to become a respectful, caring, compassionate, sincere, and an empathetic person. The most influential of these characteristics that have been instilled in me is the ethic of compassion and sharing. This ethic has shaped me into a person who gives back to both my local and global community in ways of volunteering to aid the less fortunate who live in poverty near me or across the seas, or to assist in creating…

    Before I started doing community service I really didn’t care about others. I was just in my own world and just doing things that weren’t that beneficial for me and others. But that changed once I started to know other people’s situations. Realizing what the people who I was helping went through helped me have a change of heart. It made me care about others and understand how they felt.…

    As a child, my parents and I always went on walks, we sometimes saw things that would slowly break down my walls and make me see the hostile in the world. One day, we saw an old man that was homeless, and my parents were being nice, and gave the man a $5.00 bill. I was grown up to always help the people even though there are people in this world that would fake to be homeless just to get money, but I was taught that it would come back to them if they were to…

    In America we are very fortunate, the majority of the population is blessed with food to eat and a roof over their heads and the comforting promise of freedom and protection. Our country is solely based on the income and output of families and large corporations; the wealth of our nation allows most of the population to live comfortably. Being raised in a home where past generation family traditions and values are present; coming together to eat dinner and share in conversation, taking a trip to Brazil the summer of my junior change my perspective on life and the world as a whole. I traveled to Brazil with a group of fifteen young people and five leaders from our church set out on a mission of sharing the good news of Jesus.…

    I love teaching sunday school at my church and babysitting when I can. Being compassionate and friendly to someone can impact someone's day to an extent, that you may not realize at the time, but they might remember it for a while. Many achievements are made by helping others. Helping others is also a chain reaction, so we should all try to spread the compassion. Everyone has the power to make someone's day or even bring down someone, I try my best to always help others in any way possible. The willing to help others and compassion are parts of my life that I feel make me,…

    Before, I was all about myself, I knew what I needed and knew what to do to get what I needed. But since I have had this experience I have decided that giving is the life for me. I now see that I am not the only person in the world that has needs, and I am also not the only person in the world who struggles to meet said needs. And I believe that if I lead the rest of my life giving, I could inspire someone else to give, too. Luther was all it took to start the peasant revolt. That alone is enough proof that if one mind changes, several will follow after it. If we all become giving citizens maybe we can all find our inner…

    (3) The role I can take in spreading compassion to others is leading by example. I can start to not ignore people and their problems and actually going up to people in public who look like they are in need of help. I can start smiling more and being more kind to strangers and give people smiles as I pass them by. I must admit, I have been trying to be compassionate in the last 3 years, but it is difficult because I am shy and am not use to going up to people and seeing if they need…
