Help

My act of kindness is that my sister had a spelling test the next day and she forgot about so she wanted someone to help her and since my parents weren't home I went to her room and helped her learn them.

Helping Ms Sharlene prepare the grade 5s for their exhibition that is coming up.

Ms. Sharlene is one of my most supportive and dearest teachers, so when I volunteered to be a helper, not only was Ms. Sharlene getting help as well as the grade 5s but also, I felt very good about what I did, because teachers are the people with the hardest jobs and they exceed at their tasks, so what I did, was a sign of kindness and courage, courage; I showed courage by being a Riak-Taker and pushing my limits of stage frights and standing up and having a conversation with a younger audience like the grade 5s.

What I learned from this experience is that if you ever try to help someone or a large group of people is that at the end, you will always feel that feeling where you just feel good about yourself because you helped others in need or assistance, and for that I say that I thank all of my teachers, both close and far for helping me build my future and make it the best it can be and continuing to do that five days per week.

End The Hate!

For weeks now, three eighth graders and I have been practising a play in Drama Club. It's called 'End The Hate!' and is about how we should all be open-minded towards other people's opinions and perspectives. And for this play, we used BTS as an example.

At first, we thought that we were going to be performing it only for the Drama Club, but then Ms. Tina

asked us if we would like to do it for the Lower Schoolers for their book week.
So after my drama class, I stayed back to wait for the other girls and we went downstairs to get ready (Middle High school had 7th and 8th period/an assembly). I was very nervous about performing, and to add to that, I was going to have to deliver a short speech at the beginning to introduce our play and the moral. There was no script for my speech prepared beforehand and I was going to have to improvise, which meant there was a risk of me messing up. After my motivational and inspiring words, I walked off the stage and a fifth grader shouted, "BTS is trash!" in my direction. Though I tried to forget about his unnecessary comment and focus on the play since it was making me more anxious than I was, and I didn't even think that was possible.
I'm not going to elaborate, but let's just say the audience didn't react as we had anticipated and that left us feeling dull.
By then I was used to all the criticism and comments I've been receiving regarding my taste in music, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt any less.

I think that we displayed all three of the attributes, Kindness, Courage and Friendship.
Kindness because we were willing to take the time out of our day and use up our recess everyday solely to rehearse so we could teach the lower schooler about being open minded and accepting.
Courage because we were able to overcome their rude judgement.
And lastly, friendship because we encouraged and supported each other during both practises and the
real play when we were most discouraged.

I hope that in the future, people will accept other for who they are, what they do and the way they feel. I wish they would be tolerant of others and eliminating discrimination throughout all ages.
If only the world was this way...
