Why People Do Good Things

Improved Essays
Have you ever felt good about something to the point that you do not want anything in return? Have you just did something from the heart, and felt proud of it? I know I have and it feels awesome. I’m always such a helper or a listening ear to people. I feel as though if you do good things, then good things will come to you. That’s the truth, and I live by that ever since I was younger. I cannot count on how many times I have helped someone, it keeps coming and coming and I do not complain about the good deeds that I have encountered on the daily. My good deed that I did today was helping this person that I did not know pick up her papers that fell on the ground. I did not know her and she did not know me, and when her papers fell on the ground I went pass by her before it fell, but then …show more content…
I could have just easily kept on moving and head back to my room, but I didn’t. I turned and helped her out. When you helped someone, you feel a sense of relieved and it feels good. We want to be something in this world, yes we do. We still need to help out others while we are still breathing. Helping out is the best thing that anyone can do for other’s that really needs the help. I also did another good deed for someone. I helped them carry a bag upstairs to their room, they had a lot of things in their hands so I carry a grocery bag to make it easier for them. I performed this particular good deed because if I was struggling with something I would want someone to help me, even if I didn’t ask. Like I have said in the beginning, helping others is a good thing, in general, to do. It shows how much you have changed or become of a person. I decided to help the girl who had papers on the ground because I was always taught if

Bruno always brings schmuel food because he's starving. Bruno goes through a lot of trouble just to help schmuel live a somewhat better life.

    Going back to my opinion, I still believe that it is good to help other people in need. They shouldn't be knows as some sort of evil ¨peasants¨ just for the fact that they are looking and needing for help. Most people don't even reach out for help, but people still go out to help them because it is just the right thing to do. I am also not saying that you should give money to every person you see and leave known for yourself. It is a great thing to be able to take care of yourself and strive for what you really…

    Girl Scouts was a big part of my life when I was young and it really helped prepare me for the future in some ways. I learned a lot about responsibility during our famous cookie sales. When we did our booth sales I got a lot of practice trying to make good sales. I was often told that I would make a great saleswoman which is a great skill to have when looking for a job. The camping trips helped me learn a little more about independence, responsibility, and respect.…

    “Someone call 911”, I said, when I saw a girl fall down the stairs lying unconscious. The nurse at Rockdale County High School assisted with the situation. My friend Fred and I held her so she wouldn’t hurt herself any more than had already been done. The nurse notified us that this girl has epilepsy (meaning that a person has had two or more seizures, but it’s not contagious & is not caused by mental illness or mental retardation). I didn’t pay too much attention to what the nurse was saying because I was focused on the girl's breathing and her ability regain consciousness.…

    However, there are people who can’t afford to help others, but they can help spread the word and help them get the help they need. Others might argue that even if you treat people they way you want be treated, some may not even say thank you for helping them and some might be rude about it. Yes, some might not be grateful about the way you treat them but, it's better to take the chance of not getting anything in return. At least you will be satisfied with what you have done for them.…

    I am truly honored as being a nominee for the Easton Chapter National Honor Society. The standards that must be proven to be nominated by this prestigious society are an example of the hard work and dedication I have exemplified in school. Throughout my years of schooling, I have tried my hardest to get good grades, while also demonstrating the characteristics that make up the National Honor Society; they are leadership, service, and character. While I have exhibited all three throughout my educational career, I feel that my service characteristic stands out above the rest. Service can mean many things, but to me, it means helping someone perform a task they can’t complete themselves, sacrificing your time, and assisting the less fortunate.…

    I’ve never been able to decline help to someone in need. I always put everyone else's needs before my own because when I sacrifice myself in order to put a smile on someone else’s face it gives me peace. Contributing to a cause to make the world a better place is worth the sleepless nights. When one is passionate about helping people it won’t matter to them how long they have to go without food or how tired they will feel at the end of the day. Just this week, I’ve had several occasions where I gladly gave up my time to do people favors or help someone in need.…

    Over the past two months I have spent numerous nights filling yards with flamingos while the families inside slept unknowing of what was happening. I spent a night teeter tottering for six hours and made blankets the day after. When I worked at a grocery store I used to stop during my walk back, and return to buy groceries. These are all things I do nearly out of impulse because of how I was raised and who I am. Growing up I learned from a young age that if someone you know needs something, you give what you can.…

    An elderly woman who got to take part in a high school community service project states, “Many think that volunteering is all about what you give. But what catches you by surprise is how much you receive in return.” This demonstrates why many people do not feel that they should give back because they do not believe the benefits that they can get from it as well. Consequently, when creating that feeling of happiness and satisfaction in someone else’s life, it comes back to the person creating it. Volunteering to help someone get tutored, help the handicapped, involve themselves with a program like Meals on Wheels, certain environmental work, etc., not only does one gain from that, but one’s community has been helped because of them.…
