PIF

Pay It Forward (PIF) to me is a way to help in an easy effective way. The reason I think this is effective is because it works like a chain reaction. It’s also convenient for me because I could basically do it on any day of the week if it was convenient for the person I was helping.

My PIF story starts out with me tutoring my brother. I tutored him in reading. He is in first grade and was on level 16. I helped him read a book that was level 18. This helped him advance farther up in reading.

Next I helped my mom by packing my brother’s lunch. I’ve learned a lot in home economics that helped me know how to make it nutritious. It only took me about fifteen minutes each morning. This gave my mom a little more time in the morning.

Lastly, I helped my dad by doing the dishes. I’ve also learned a lot relating to this in home economics. I washed them, dried them then put them away. It took me all of 20 minutes to get it all done.

In conclusion, helping doesn’t always have to be hard.
