I made a difference today by showing children at the hockey some moves they didn't understand.

I knew I helped because they said thank you to me .

They felt grateful and happy to now also know the moves.

I felt glad to have been able to help them.

31 March

Today I made a difference by going to BBPS's sport ground and 'playing hockey' with my sister.
She was very bored and also wanted to learn more about hockey.

I knew I helped because I wanted to lie on my bed and read, but she wanted me to go with her.

I felt 'excited' about taking my sister there.

I think she felt very grateful to me for taking her.

30 March

Today I helped my Sunday school teacher packing up the chairs and table.

I knew I helped because she was in a hurry and no one wanted to help her.

I felt glad to have helped her.

I think she felt very grateful.

29 March

Today I made a difference by packing phonebooks and delivering them for our church Cadettes and gems club.

I knew I helped because they were looking for extra people to help.

I felt glad to help.
(and we had lots of fun!!!)

I reckon they felt relieved to have another person helping, and enjoying the day.

28 March

I made a difference today by helping a girl at the Pony Club catch her horse.

The girl was very desperate because Janice (our instructor) told us to hurry up, and the girl couldn't catch the naughty horse.

I knew I helped because the girl was in trouble and I caught her horse for her.
The girl was very thankful and relieved.

I felt glad because she did'nt get into trouble.

27 March 2008

Today I made a difference by looking after our neighbours cat.

I gave the cat its food and patted it. The cat purred all the time.

I knew I made a difference because the lady was very worried about her cat while she went to Christchurch.

I felt happy because I love cats and I like to help someone out.

I think the lady felt very relief to finally have found somebody to look after her cat.

This is a brainstorm that I did on citizenship
