St. Jude's Valentines Day
Being kind to me means being thoughtful. Doing something positive without being asked to.
It's the Simple Things
How was St. Jude started?
Danny Thomas founded/started the hospital February 6,1962. Danny's dream was to create a "unique" research to cure catastrophic diseases in children. St. Jude families don't get billed for receiving a service there. As a matter of fact all families could be seen at St. Jude even if they can't afford it. It's free and anyone can be a patient at St. Jude. St. Jude accepts children/young adults that are 21 years or younger.

How did I take part in an act of kindness?
I sent out 3 cards to St. Jude. I feel happy and proud knowing that we, as Ms. Longi's class sent out over 1,000 cards! Knowing that we as a class made so many patients happy, made me happy. I felt excited sending out the cards honestly. It's like they are receiving a gift and it excites me. I hope we all put a smile on St. Jude patients. I wish that we could see a reaction of each child that read our cards. That would warm my heart.

How do I feel?
Honestly the St. Jude patients are NO different than me. They are all loving, caring human beings. I wouldn't want them to feel left out or any different than me.Of course there are some things that they can't physically do but I don't feel any higher than of a person than they are. I'm forever grateful for my health and I pray for all of the children at St. Jude to get better. In Ms. Longi's physical education class i feel more than happy to help others out. I am also thankful for those that have helped me in her class. I can be kind during physical education by complimenting others. Telling someone that they look good or even just helping them out with an assignment in class, i know for sure they appreciate.
