Character Counts at Ridgeview SchooL

February: Caring Think of a heart

Be kind • Be compassionate and show you care • Express gratitude • Forgive others • Help people in need

It is important to show people that we care. While big and extravagant gifts are one way, it is the small things that we do everyday that are the most important. 

Try to think of the things that people have done for you that have meant a lot to you. Quite often the things that really stand out in our memory are not the extravagant things, but just the simple things. Perhaps someone gave you a hug when you had a bad day, or even a total stranger may have smiled at you when you were down and it brightened your day. .

 

Sometimes the easiest way to show someone that you care is helping him or her with a job or chore they hate doing. Taking out the trash for your mother, helping your brother with his homework, or picking up a few things at the store for the elderly are all little things that can make a difference in someone’s life. 

You don’t necessarily have to do something for someone show them you care. Just being there and taking the time to listen is a great way to show someone that you care about him or her. You could call them up for no reason at all, but “just because”, or just drop around to their house to say “hello”.

It is the things that come from the heart that mean the most. Your options are endless. You are only limited by your imagination. Try to think of the things that have really mattered to you, and do similar things to show other people that you care.
