It’s amazing how one dollar can change the culture of a school.

We have a _________ school of about 30 students. It is really full of competition and pressure as most of the kids get good _________ and try to be the best ones. It’s good except that a lot of us middle kids felt really _________. We got the feeling that we were so selfish—it’s every man for himself.

_________, my friend and I set out to find a way to change the culture. We thought doing things for others was the only way to _________ our depression about school. On the first day of school we put a _________ folded into a heart into one of the leaders’ lockers with a piece of paper that _________ “Buy yourself a snack.” We hoped to give away small gifts every day. We didn’t know the _________ it would have.

People went _________ over it and everyone was talking about who it might be doing the acts of kindness and __________ that they should do something too. It is so much fun to see the __________ on everyone’s faces now! Lots of other people have started sharing __________ now too: chocolate bars, cookies and money left on purpose in the vending machine (自动售货机). And lots of notes are on the thanks board saying: “Thanks to whoever started.”

Now I actually expect to go to school to have the chance to __________ people up. I hope kindness will __________ to other schools. If anybody is struggling with being __________ at school and work, I totally suggested doing acts of kindness.
