During the past month, I have had a lot of time on my hands to think and reflect on things. Since I am home now, and not at school, I seem to have a lot more time to do things for myself. Instead of doing things for myself, I decided to try and do things for others. One of the major things happening in our world is the virus pandemic. There are certain people who can be affected more than others. The elderly are people who can be greatly affected. I had an idea in order to help this situation. My grandparents are still alive and they are currently living in their home where they currently cannot leave. I could not imagine the sadness they must feel since they cannot come in close contact with any of their friends or family members. I decided to think of something that I could do for my grandparents to make their day and put a smile on their face. I decided to cook a homemade meal and deliver the meal to their front door. I cooked them pasta, garlic bread, and a nice salad. With the meal, I included a handwritten note and some flowers. After delivering the meal and flowers to my grandparents home, I waited in my car until they noticed. I waved to them from afar and it warmed my heart seeing the smile on their faces. I felt good after completing this task. It made me feel joy seeing my grandparents and showing them that I love them. It is nice to think and do things for others, especially in times like now in our world.
