Key Club Week: Random Acts Of Kindness Day
I am an active member of a service organization called Key Club. One day during Key Club week is Random Acts of Kindness Day. My goal was to start implementing this in my everyday life. On a daily basis, we can be selfish to the needs of others without even realizing it. Everything was put in perspective for me when one afternoon I stopped by the Dollar Tree to pick up some supplies. It was the cashiers birthday and she was turning 74. We wished her a happy birthday and she explained how her family had not planned anything for her birthday. After we left we decided that we should go ask her if she would like to go out to eat and we’d sing her happy birthday. She said she couldn’t because her husband would be waiting for her. So we sang for

    Abigail Marsh Summary

    20 years ago, a man saved her life, by putting his own life in danger. He ran across 4 lanes of freeway traffic, to bring her to safety after being in a car accident that could have killed her. The man was a total stranger, who took off after making sure she was okay – she never even got his name. Marsh wonders why he did so and started questioning why some people have a different level of altruism than others.…

    The Romans Road Summary

    I very much enjoy doing things for others. I have previously utilized a servant evangelism method with my family. We have RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) days where we will do random acts of kindness such as leave quarters at a laundromat, pay for a person’s meal in the drive-thru, leave money at massage chairs in the mall, leave cards made by the children in hospital waiting rooms, etc. All of these things are left with a note that says this is a random act of kindness, and to pay it forward. There are also Bible verses and tracts explaining salvation that we leave as well. While I realize this is a “secret” type of giving, we are still planting a seed in the…

    Personal Narrative: Stranger Generosity

    Stranger Generosity...This morning I was sitting at the doctor's office waiting room. Struck up a conversation with a lady who had brought her mom in for some tests. We started chatting and the conversation led to running in marathons. I proceeded to tell her I was signed-up for the Avon 39 miles Walk in DC next month, however I wasn't too good at raising money. Without hesitation she pulled out a $20 bill and said put this towards your fund raising. Needless to say, I was very surprised and shocked a stranger would be so generous, BTW, her first name is Julie. I did get her full name and email address to thank her. Julie's generosity triggered me to send this note and ask you if you could assist in any monetary way, I would greatly appreciate…

First, small acts of kindness might cause the domino effect. Second, acts of kindness can make people’s day. Finally, doing small acts of kindness makes you a good role model for younger people. As a result, a small act of kindness can make a positive impact on another person’s life.…

    All Souls Day Generosity

    Ensuring salvation in this manner was a significant investment. One needed to be sure that if they lavished riches on the poor they could expect an advantageous return. But the issue with these mortuary provisions, is that one could never be assured that the investment would pay off, and that the recipients of their generosity would honour their part of the exchange. They needed the poor’s help to profit in the afterlife, and this could be managed in several ways. The first option was to ensure the reliability of the recipient through selective generosity, discriminating between those ‘worthy’ poor and vagabonds who could not be trusted. The second option, was to revert to the antique tradition of giving to ‘clients’, or to those with whom you had a personal connection.…

    Foster's Statement On Self-Domlective Service Vs. True Service

    For example I serve as a youth intern at my church which means what the youth group needs whether spiritual or physically my door is always open. There were a lot of things I did for my youth group that took a lot of my time and effort, but when it was time for people to be acknowledged for their work I was overlooked. And I was really upset by it, I was furious and wanted to stop doing the things I was doing. I didn't even realize that the way I responded was showing a very self-righteous form of service.…

    Something I did that was kind lately was help my sister take care of her pitbull Nikia. I helped her walk, feed and water, take her outside, and bathe her dog. My sister responded really surprised and shocked that I helped her with that.

    What Makes A Homeless Person

    An act of kindness I ensured was when I saw a homeless person. As a student not financially stable, but I felt as though with the small amount of money I had, by donating a few coins could make someone gladder and brighten up their day. Therefore, I did this, not only did I feel optimistic it made me happier by making someone else feel restored.…

    Altruism vs Self Interest

    Altruistic acts extend across the whole world, from humans to all different kinds of animals. Soldiers storming the beaches of Normandy for the freedom of our country to Vervet monkeys sounding loud alarms to warn of threats even though it draws a predators attention to themselves (Crowl 1). Altruism and self-interest are inherent motivations in all species and will continue to be forever. Personally, whenever I hold the door for someone it makes me feel good about my self since I was making life that much easier for one of my fellow human beings. While at the same time thoughts float around my mind that make me think about why I held the door. Was it because I really was trying to help out another person or was it because I was looking for the satisfaction from the thank you I would receive from the individual I held the door for. It would bother me for about a minute or so and then I would come to the rationalization that I was just being a nice guy and trying to do the right thing. Call it altruistic or see it as me acting out of self-interest, either way it is just the right thing to do and I cannot beat myself up too much about it. This controversy between self-interest and altruism has gone through many people’s heads at some points, and both Jenner and Darwin had to deal with this topic of discussion during their lifetime and within their own work. Of course it is always nice to get a pat on the back and be recognized for accomplishments one has achieved over a lifetime, but at the end of the day what are our motives to do these generous things and to help others?…

    Homeless Person

    John is one of the people that are fed daily by Susie and Hannah. He wasn’t the only one to have said something positive about this act of kindness. Pretty much everyone in the subways knew of Susie and Hannah and were thankful for their act of kindness. We were impressed by this, since not many people are aware of how much the tiniest act of kindness can impact someone. Yet, Susie’s and Hannah’s act of kindness was not small it still showed people are good at heart. They took time out of their day to feed people and didn’t expect anything in return. We should all learn something after reading this story, because if we’re all kind to each other the world would be a better place. Don’t do the act of kindness for recognition do it for the happiness of the person receiving it. By doing so, it’ll make their day better and yours better by knowing you did such thing. So, remember spread kindness even if it seems small. The simplest thing could still brighten someone’s…

    Pay It Forward

    The act of kindness that I preformed recently happened in early August; I was at the grocery store and saw a family of four shopping; I noticed their cart had very little food and the mother kept putting food back that the kids were asking for; I started a conversation with her about the economy and how tough it’s getting for everyone. As we talked I could see her stress levels rise; I made her aware of various government and state resources that I was certain she would qualify for. The mother began to tell me that she has applied for those resources but has never heard anything back from the agency; I gave her my number and told her to give me a call and I would do my best to advocate for her. I then bought her groceries and told her not to worry about it. Part of my job at Partners in Housing is to help advocate for individuals who need specific resources but are not certain how to go about applying for them; the woman called the next day and I began the process of advocating for her. When I checked up on her, I found out she had received food assistance,…

    Debut Albums and Unselfish Good Deed

    Life is not always all about receiving; sometimes, we have to think of others, and give back. This summer for instance, I performed a very unselfish good deed that I will never forget. When someone hears "good deed" one might automatically think that it is giving clothes to the naked, feeding the hunger, or donating blood to Red Cross. My unselfish good deed, however, was far from all those things.…
