Homeless (Don't Almost Give, Give)
Hi. I am a senior at Evanston Township High School. I am working on an independent project: to perform acts of kindness in Evanston and take pictures of them to post on Flickr. I hope to spread kindness around my community and make people aware of acts of kindness. I would love to hear from you. Feel free to add anything relevant to acts of kindness and my project. Leave a post, add a comment to my posts, come back as many times as you like, and look at the websites and books I have added : )

Eighth Grade Graduation Movie
Last night my friend from Loyola, who also went to St. A's with me called and asked if I had our eighth grade graduation movie for a project. It was around 10:30 and I had other things to do but instead of taking the easy way out and saying I did not have it, I told her I would look for it. It ended up being in my room and I found it after about fifteen minutes. She came to get it and just taking the time to look for it and help her out with a project was a great feeling. I hope she did well!
Traffic
On Saturday, I was driving on Ridge during rush hour. I just let a car come onto Ridge from Washington. This act of kindness was not much but the woman waved at me and I smiled and waved back. That one second of contact allowed me to show her that I cared and let her get on her way a little faster. It also made me happier because I always dislike, especially in rush hour, when another driver does not let me in. It is a simple yet courteous and kind action that shows the other person you have acknowledged them. Why not? It only takes a couple seconds but can last a whole lot longer.
