Good Deed Do Now 12/14

     Good deeds, or acts of kindness are often performed in order for one's own personal gain. I am here to tell you about my day in which I performed good deeds with no reward, or compensation. I began my day by doing simple little good deeds. These deeds included opening the door for people behind me. It was not until later where I did a bigger, more influential good deed.

     Later in the day I performed a greater good deed. I decided to volunteer at The Valley Hospital. I did not wear my name tag so I would remain anonymous. I wheeled people who were too weak, frail, or old to walk. I also transported patients who would not walk around. I ended the day by donating money to the Make A Wish Foundation to help pediatric cancer patients in need. Overall, thanklessly helping others was an amazing experience.
