My project is about giving people random acts of kindness. I was to give chocolates one of my closest friends. They are a packs of mint chocolates that I have bought at 7/11. I did not pursue with giving the Hershey’s chocolate anymore since my pantry is running out anyway.
I gave the first one to Carlos Cornelio, who is the most closest to me at my block. I gave the second one to Jacob Publico who was befriended each other at Enlit class. The third one was given to Billy Asuncion whom I become friends with at Ballroom dancing. The fourth one was supposed to be given to a guy named Ethan, but I did not see him for the week so I was not able to give it to him.
Giving the gifts was very easy since I never had to hesitate talking to them since we already had a close relationships. The challenge was to be able to meet them at our respective schedules. My friends and I had to meet during breaktime. Sometimes, I need to be lucky that we manage to go at the same venue. That is the condition I did not met with the fourth chocolate.
A lesson that I learned about myself is about the improvement I have with my social skills. I remember when I was a kid, I was not confident talking to other people even when I wanted to ask for glue to borrow. Now, I am more confident in talking with other people. I still hesitate sometimes when I try to converse with them, but I still manage to keep a conversation going.
I would certainly do this over again. I want to further strengthen my relations with other people by expressing my appreciation through something tangible. I would more likely do this over special occasions like during Christmas and Valentine’s. I hope in the future even after college, I would still practice as tradition for my future friends to come.
