Lesson 3 From You to Others
You probably know of great souls who sacrificed themselves to help others and make the world a better place to live in.
It may seem difficult or practically impossible for ordinary people to live up to what Dr. Schweitzer did.
But small actions that we take for our family and friends in our everyday lives can make a difference toward creating a better world.
Today we are going to listen to the stories of two teenagers who have taken such actions.
Spreading Kindness with Positive Messages
-Annie from Ottawa
Hi, everyone. Nice to meet you all here today. I’m Annie from Ottawa.
You know what these yellow sticky notes are for and probably use them for many purposes.
I am here to tell you how I use them.
It’s to encourage people, give them strength, and help them feel happy.
When I was in middle school, someone broke into my locker and used my smartphone to post hateful things on my SNS page.
It was so hurtful and difficult to overcome.
But after a lot of thinking and talking with my parents and closest friends, I concluded that although bullies use words to hurt people, I should use them to encourage others.
Once I started high school, I took action.
The idea was to spread kindness by posting notes with positive messages all over the school.
I spent an entire weekend making positive notes, such as “You’re amazing!” and “You are worth more than you think!”
The following Monday I put them up around the school, and named my campaign “Positive Post-It Day.”
Guess what happened next. I was scolded for making a mess!
But don’t be disappointed yet.
It didn’t take long before the campaign gained attention and support.
To my surprise, teachers also agreed to make it official, and friends joined me to create an SNS page for the campaign.
We are now getting support from people all over the world.
Positive and powerful words are taking the place of negative and hateful ones in our school, in our community, and in the world.
What I learned from this experience is that there is something we ordinary teenagers can do to contribute to making a better world.
No matter how simple it is, it can bring a change to our family, school, and community.
My friends and I are looking forward to spreading our positive sticky note messages over the entire world next year.
Why don’t you join us?
Using My Computer Skills to Help My Grandfather
- Greg from New York City
Hi, I’m Greg. I live in New York City. I love playing computer games.
Who doesn’t at my age?
I even learned computer programming because I wanted to make a computer game of my own!
But recently I found another way to use my skills, and I’m excited to share it with you today.
My grandfather is dealing with Alzheimer’s disease.
As some of you might know, Alzheimer’s patients often suffer from wandering.
Well, my grandfather sometimes wanders without knowing where he is going.
Wandering around at night is especially dangerous.
In fact, my grandfather had several accidents because his caregiver failed to wake up when he started wandering in the middle of the night.
I really wanted to help my grandfather.
So I set out to design a wireless system that triggers an alert on a caregiver’s smartphone when a patient steps out of bed.
To make this system work, I made a small wireless circuit with a thin film sensor attached to it.
This circuit is planted in a sock or a shoe.
When the patient steps out of bed, the pressure causes the system to send an alert to a smartphone application that I also programmed.
To my delight, it worked!
I will never forget how deeply moved and excited my family and I were when we first saw my device detecting my grandfather’s wandering.
At that moment, I was struck by what I could do for people, using my knowledge and skills.
Now I am making more sensors to donate to nursing homes for Alzheimer’s patients.
What I really wanted to tell you today is that your knowledge and skills, whatever they are, can be used to help others.
It’s exciting to imagine what would happen if all of us were to join in to help others with what we can and like to do best.
I don’t know exactly what such a world would look like, but I’m certain it would be a much better world.
Thank you so much for your time!
