Reflection

Over my 17 days I learned a lot about others ad me, I learned that if you do something nice for someone else someday when you need a hand or help they will be there backing you up the whole way.

I think that I gave 10/10 effort for my blogging and I really had fun.

I have learned that you don't have to be the nicest, richest person in the world to be a good citizen. A good citizen can look ike anyone and you don't have to do big thing to make a difference, you could do the smallest thing and you could be able to change someones life completely.

I have really enjoyed doing 17days to make a difference and I hope that I can carry on making a difference.
