Jayson's Pay It Forward

Part 1
Pay it forward means that when you do something for someone, instead of asking them to pay it back to you, you tell them to pay it forward to someone else. It's when someone does something nice for 3 people, then those 3 people do something nice for 9 people, and so on.

Part 2
My act of kindness was donating my old clothes to the Siloam mission.

I chose this activity because I had alot of clothes that i didn't wear anymore, or the ones that couldn't fit me.

I helped people who needed clothes to keep themselves warm in the cold environment.

I donated all my things at January 8, 2014.

My old clothes

At the entrance of the Siloam Mision

 Part 3
My act of kindness went really well.

I walked in, handed my bag with the clothes in it, then we went back to the car.

I felt happy that someone has clothes that need it way more than I do.

I did not ask them to pay it forward because the people in there are already helping each other out and doing nice things to the people that are not so fortunate.

The person i gave the clothes did not react  excited because they already get alot of donations from other people.

Part 4
The idea of pay it forward is important because spreading joy joy to people makes them happy. If people are happy, they can do great things.

Any act of kindness can make a difference, no matter how big or how small, you just have to commit to doing it.

Nassia's Pay It Forward

 Pay It Forward

What is Pay It Forward?

Pay it forward is an an act of kindness towards someone else. But it doesn't stop there, because then that person does a good deed for another person, and it keeps going on.

My Act of Kindness

I did my act of kindness throughout this past week. For my act of kindness, I decided to share encouraging words with others. I came up with things I would want to hear myself, and things that should be said more often and printed it on paper with extra fancy fonts. Then I distributed the letters throughout my neighborhood. I chose this act of kindness because it is actually unusual for a stranger to just go up to someone and tell them they are awesome. Usually people don't try hard to build others up, especially if you don't know them. Negative things are said more often than positive things in our world.

The Effect

So I went out one evening in the snow and delivered the letters. I felt good every time I slipped one into a mailbox, wondering how that person would react. At one moment, an old man found my letter immediately, and stared at me from across the street, where I was still delivering letters to other houses. He looked as if he was touched. It made me feel great because I felt that my idea wasn't as good or big as others in our class, and it gave me motivation to keep delivering, knowing my act of kindness was going to reach out to people. I had put the meaning of Pay It Forward  at the bottom of every letter to inspire others to do keep the kindness going. I think people will want to Pay It Forward.

The Importance Of Pay It Forward

I think the idea of Pay It Forward is important because it's a way to reach out to others, and then get them to do the same. The effect is amazing. If everyone did acts of kindness, I think the whole world could be impacted. 

I think my act of kindness has made a difference. When I came home from the school the other day I found that most of the letters had been recieved. Even though I can't be sure that people were inspired by my letters, I am sure that I was inspired after the whole experience.

Pay it forward Manual

Part 1: Paying something forward is when you do something out of the goodness of your heart for no reward or recognition.

Part 2: For my act of kindness I donated a garbage bag of close that I didn't wear or didn't fit to the good will.
I chose this because I always do donate clothes,  probably around once a month and because it has been really cold lately and lots of kids in the city need clothes.
By doing this I helped children around the area by giving them clothes at a cheaper kind of store instead of paying hundreds of dollars on jackets and shirt and stuff.
I went through all of my drawers and made a pile for clothes I didn't need and clothes I wanted to keep.
I did this all on January 3rd.

Part 3: All my act of kindness was just me dropping off some clothes.
I just put the bag in the big grey rolling bins by the door.
I felt good because I know that I'm helping out some children who can't afford new clothes.
I guess the people who worked there felt pretty happy that a kid is helping out by donating clothes.
No I did not ask anyone to pay it forward because there are allot of people who could just buy one article of clothing so plenty of people could buy my old clothes.

Part 4: The idea of paying something forward is important because if you do it once another person will do it so that makes 2 people and then they will both tell a person and on and on.
I'm sure that my act of kindness will affect people in time because my clothes may not be sold and bought right away.

Me(Allan), Sam, and Andren all went out on some of the coldest days and shoveled peoples sidewalks for free!

Our act of kindness went really well.

How did the person or people react?

one of the ladies came out while we were shovelling and had a bag full of little candies and things. She said that because we didn't ask for any money she thought we deserved some things (We turned it down though and told her about pay it forward).

Jordynne's Pay it Forward

~Part One~

What is 'Pay it Forward'?
Pay it Forward is a random act of kindness towards one or more people, and when they ask what they can do to pay you back, you tell them to pay it forward to more people by performing another random act of kindness and to pass on the message of Pay it Forward, and this creates an unending cycle of kindness.

~Part Two~

What was your Pay it Forward act of kindness?
My Pay it Forward act of kindness was giving out Happy Packages (made of a pencil, chocolate, a big smiley face sticker and a special Pay it Forward note in a small bag) to the grade eight teachers.

Why did you choose this activity?
I chose this activity because it was simple, quick, and unique, and it would've easily made someone happy if they were having a bad day.

Who did you help?
I helped out the grade eight teachers.

What did you do?
I made the Happy Packages at home and delivered them personally to the teachers the next day.

When did you do your act of kindness?
My act of kindness was done one 01-06-2014.

These Happy Packages contained a pencil, a smiley face sticker (it was in the back of that bag), a Ferrero Rocher chocolate, and a special Pay it Forward note.

The Pay it Forward note explained what Pay it Forward is and what you can do as an act of kindness. It also had a diagram of how Pay it Forward  spreads out to different people.

~Part Three~

How did your act of kindness go?

My act of kindness went better than I expected.

What happened?

I personally gave the packages to three of the grade eight teachers. When I did, they were really happy. For the other two teachers, I just dropped it off on their desk as a little 'surprise', so they could have a little spark in their evening.

How did you feel?

It was heartwarming that I was able to make these people smile with a simple goody bag. Instead of just standing around, I was able to make a tiny difference in someones day, and I feel really happy about that.

How did the person or people react?

The teachers that I personally gave the packages to gasped and smiled. They looked so surprised, as if someone never gave them a Happy Package before! I have yet to know the reactions of the other two teachers.

Did you ask the person or people to Pay it Forward?

Sadly, I didn't have the time to.

How did they react to your request?

~see above~

If you did not ask the person to Pay it Forward, how come?

I didn't ask them because I had to rush to the other teachers before they left. On the bright side, I put a Pay it Forward note in the bag that explains how it works and what they could do.

~Part Four~

Why is the act of Pay it Forward important?

The act of Pay it Forward is important because everybody needs to be kind at some point in their lives. Whether it's helping someone pick up their belongings off of the ground or caring for a homeless person without your parents' permission, every little kind thing you do makes a difference, and when you tell those people to pass on the message of Pay it Forward, you activate an unending cycle of people making a difference in the world.

Has your act of kindness made a difference?

Yeah, my act of kindness made a difference by making a few peoples day a bit brighter and happier. By doing this, they'll know that someone cares, and they can pass it on to so many more people so they know that there is always someone who cares about them.
