What Pay It Forward Means
Pay it Forward-v. To do a good deed for someone
without anything in return for the gesture.
Objective- To make the world a better place. As
Trevor demonstrates in the movie, he helps three
people. Those three people are to help another
three people, and so on. A chain is formed.

The First Deed for Pay It Forward

• The first deed I did for pay it forward was
  walking the 4 mile Multiple Scoliosis walk. I did
  this for my cousin Mary-Margaret Orifice. I sent
  out e-mails and letters to family and friends
  asking is they would be willing to donate some
  money towards the cause, some yes, and some no.
  However, by the time that we were ready to
  register the day of the walk, we had raised 1,
  055.00! (and more was to come.) Not only did I
  raise money, and walk, but I help to set up, and
  serve refreshments.

The Second Deed I did for Pay It Forward

• For the second deed for Pay It Forward, I worked
  at the local library for about an hour-an hour
  and a half. During this time, I cut paper for
  crafts, folded pamphlets for new members, and
  organized other materials for an upcoming event.

How I felt after Paying It Forward
How I felt After Paying It Forward
After paying it forward I felt great. There is
so much that I realized when I was doing it. I
felt better knowing that I wasnt getting
anything in return for doing something, for it
shows that you truly do mean what you are doing.
I felt confident knowing that I was making a
difference. I realized that you are never too
young to ever make a difference. By picking up a
piece of garbage, you are making a difference. I
felt selfless, something that I never feel, but
yet, it was a good feeling. I felt happy knowing
just how important and proud it made not only
myself, or my family, but how proud it made
complete strangers. A lady had come up to me
after I had completed the walk. You know, she
said, there aint too many kids like
youthanks. She gave me a hug sitting in her
wheelchair, and strolled away. That was my icing
on my cake. I had never felt as good as I had on
that day.

What I think About Paying It Forward
Paying It Forward is a very good idea, but yet,
is very complex. The idea in which it enforces
and presents is something that many have yearned
for since the beginning of timePEACE. If we want
to live on an Earth without wars and hatred..we
need peace. Despite the fact that this sounds
like a simple task, it is one of the hardest in
society. For, as long as mankind lives, there
will never be peace. Each person has their own,
unique way of thinkingthat is why there will
never be peace. Therefore, even though it is a
great idea, it is unrealistic. However, If
everyone did it, there would be peace, and
eventually the chain would end. The person who
started it would eventually get it
back..for..what goes around, comes back around.

Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin
with me!
