The seventeenth day.

2008-06-25T03:14:00.000-07:00

Today is the last day of our '17 days to make a difference.'
Today, I cleaned my house with a vacuum cleaner. My house is very small, because we are living here just for 6 months with my brother and my mother. My mother and I was living much smaller than this house(where I am living now.) I am going back to Korea after 2 weeks. I think '17 days to make a difference' was very good program. Anyway, cleaning the house was my last difference in 17 days, thank you.

The sixteenth day.

Today, I did dishwashing for my '17 days to make a difference'. Normally, dishwashing isn't very hard. However, today wasn't, because we ate spicy meat for our dinner, so I had to clean the spice on the dishes. Also, my mom burned the pot, so I had to clean it, too. It was very hard. However, my mom said, 'thank you, you're a good girl.' I was very happy. It was my difference which I made today.

The fifteenth day.

When I was studying in Gloria's house for my maths acardemy school. Gloria and I heard Lucy(Gloria's daughter) was crying. Gloria asked Sally(Lucy's older sister) what happened. She said that an insect was in their bathroom. Gloria asked that the insect was still there. Sally said 'I don't know.I don't want to go bathroom. I'm afraid of insects,too.' So, Gloria asked me to help them, so I did. It wasn't an insect. It was hair. Anyway, they said 'thank you, you 're very brave.' I was very happy. It was my difference today.

The fourteenth day.

Today, my mom sent me on a errand to Gloria's house. When I arrived Gloria's house, Gloria said 'thank you.' When I came back from Gloria's house, my mom said 'thank you.' I was glad that I could hear people said 'thank you' to me.

The thirteenth day.

When I was going to go to bed, my mom was hanging out the wash to dry. It reminded that I haven't done anything for '17 days make a difference,' so I decided to help her. When I was going to help her, she said 'you have a cold now. You don't have to help me.' so I said that I want to because of '17 days make a difference.' I think this activities make us very good citizens.
