For my act of service, I did three random acts of kindness. I chose to perform this kind of service because I enjoy seeing the smiles it brings to others faces when you surprise them with a kind act. It is especially exciting when those people did not have any idea that you were going to do something for them. For my random acts of kindness, I made lunch for my family, cleaned up dog poop in our backyard, and vacuumed the house. I performed these acts for my family on three separate days to do…
