Pay it Forward!!

[skeeterbuge]

I just got done watching Pay It Forward in my MSLS class! and she gave us a project and it is to change 3 peoples life in a major way that will change them( just like the little boy did int he movie once his teacher gave his class extra credit to change the world in some way!)!! I have thought and thought about this!!! and i have came up with a couple people i could change but i dont know how i could do it for sure! Like my gma ( she smokes) and she has wanted to stop smoking but when she stops smoking she gains weight and she doesnt want to gain weight! also i am afraid if i try to stop her from smoking she might get mad at me or think i dont want to b around her until she stops caz i dont like the smoke! and also my neighbor too!! she smokes as well!! but she quite when she was younger then she started agin a couple months ago! and she want to quite as well! but like i said before i have no clue on how i could help them stop with out them getting mad at me!

ANY IDEAS for helping them stop??

and any ideas who else i could help? like wat conditions?? (like smoking for example or homeless) ( but i dought i would do someone homeless caz i dont think my rents would like someone homeless coming and taking a shower in the house or watever)

sorry its so long!! and thanks for the help BTW i have 4 weeks to do all of this well at least 4 weeks she said!!

thanks agian!!

i wouldn't do the smoking one.

but i think you could go to your school's principal and organize a fundraiser (or an item raiser) for a place like a food bank, homeless shelter, or a battered womens shelter. you could approach churches too.

You all have to do different projects? Sounds kind of hard.

I'm not sure what you could do. This seems like a big project that would be better suited for extra credit.

Maybe you could buy some gifts for kids who have very little for the holidays?

Yes we all have to do diffrent projects caz she thinks if we dont we will cheat off the other person that is doing that!! I agree with u it would b better suited at extra credit and it might b easier to caz not everyone would do it them!! And i have thought about doing that but there again someone is adpoting a family and givning stuff to peop,le who dont have alot!!

I thought about Buying stuff for this boy at my school!! He has Cancer for the 3rd time in 2 years!! and the doctors r making him go home school so he wont get sick by any of us!!! and hes been in the hospital for 3 weeks now and his mom cant take off work to c him or she will get fired and his brothers cant see him caz u have to b 18 to go n the room!! and he is really sad about it caz his mom goes up when shes not working but most of the time he is alone all by himself!! and he did get out just for yesterday caz my high school basketball team raised some money for him and went door to Door and got Alot of $ then!! and u cant get that close to him and i was talking to him and he sid he has NOTHING really to do n the hospital!! and so i was going to get him something for christmas caz he has to spend it in the hospital he cant come home for christmas!! b/c his his white bolld cells arent working!! and this will b his 2nd christmas in the hospital and the doctors said it might b his last christmas EVER!! and everone n my school is very scared for him and his brother is n my class and he is very sad about it!!

so i thought about doing something for him! but idk wat to get that he can do n bed!!
