Day 6-Tuesday 1 April

Today I helped Matthew because he bumped his head on a tyre from the confidence course and he got a huge bruise on his head.I helped him translate because the teacher didn't understand what Matthew was trying to say.I felt very bad for Matthew because he had a BIG bump on his head.

Day 2-Friday 28 March

Today I made a difference for my family because I was the first to wake up so I woke up my whole family, but if I didn't wake them up they would have slept in. I could tell that they appreciated it because they all said thanks to me. I felt proud that it saved them from being late.

Today at school I made a difference by helping a boy and his mother trying to find the dental clinic. They thanked me after I led them to the dental clinic. I know I made a difference because it helped them a lot and it made it a whole lot easier for them. I felt really happy and glad that I could help them.
