 I believe that small act matter

Have you ever had one of those days where everything just sucks and then someone does something small that actually makes you feel better? It’s weird how just a little thing can flip your whole mood. It's weird how just a little thing can change your whole mood for the day. I’ve realized that even tiny things like a smile or someone giving you a compliment or asking if you are doing good can really change someone’s day. This I believe:small acts of kindness can make a big difference. And I believe this because of something that happened to me.


One time I forgot my lunch at school. I felt super awkward and was just trying to play it off like I wasn;t hungry. I was lowkey hoping no one would notice. THen this kid I barely talked to slideme half of his sandwich and was like “Don’t worry it happens.” It sings simple but it actually meant a lot. That one moment made me feel seen and I didn’t feel alone anymore. Ever since that I’ve tried to do the same little things whenever I can.


This belief shows up in how I live every day. Even if I’m not in the best mood I still try to be kind. Whether it;s helping my mom out, checking in on my friends or just being cool to strangers, it helps me stay positive too. I wanna be someone people can count on. I’m not just chasing success or whatever, I wanna be a good person while doing it.


It also makes me think about who I hang out with, I don;t mess with people who are rude or act mean for attention. I’d rather chill with people who are actually nice and bring good energy. Kindness might not be loud or flashy but to me it matters a lot.I think the world needs more of it and I’m trying to be part of that.

My Cat By: Jenna  You and I are bonded  Like the snow that falls    when it stops, we fall, too it was Like a never-ending call that said "I will be there for you" It might be off and on, sad or happy  It might fall on the wrong person But I will always be there  Like a bunch of white flowers  That gain colors  Eyes that sparkle like a frozen lake  That feeling like when you touch cotton      Soft, but sharp  Lonely, but lovely  Smells like ocean   Fresh and blue Cute and calm  Sweet and spiritual   She's Sour candy  the only one I want to touch  The one I want to spend my life with  And just my best friend

ADALYNN - BIO POEM

  BY: Adalynn Adalynn, Who is always lazy and lounging. Who is the sister of Morgan, Cedric, and the daughter of Kelly. Who loves dance, law, and justice. Who feels out of bounds, lost, and simply along for the ride. Who needs to be alone but together, peaceful but chaotic, simple but complex. Who gives simple advice, an honest opinion even if brutal, and a good laugh to others. Who fears feeling empty,things touching my throat, and words I cannot understand. Who would like to see the German cathedrals, Italians statues, and the forbidden city of China. Who shares food, kindness, and knowledge. Who is a human, a dancer, and a gymnast. Who is a resident of Olney, Illinois. Kate.

I’m sure you’ve had at least one person give you a weird look, even though you don’t know who they are or who they are. They just judged you on appearance. They believe in a stereotype. Regardless of this, or how common it is, there is no such thing as a universally true stereotype. This is a simple belief, and even if people disagree, they cannot prove it wrong. It is a fact. You can say all people of [group] are [thing], but you’re wrong. If you’re right, it’s not a stereotype. And if it’s not a stereotype, it's not an issue. It is then not an opinion, which may be offensive, put simply. If I said “All adults are rude,” I’d be wrong. That’s a simple stereotype. Point out even a single outlier, and you’ve proven someone wrong in their stereotypical beliefs. One moment I can point out here that I’ve had to learn this was when I was playing an online game, and when I tried to talk to someone they said something rude. I don’t remember what they said, but I eventually got it out if ...
