the world is gold bullion but each
individual experiences his or her day
differently there are some days where
people are full of pure joy some look
where they’re just feeling okay I mean
you’re doing fine right and so when they
just want to sit in a room watching a
Netflix show eating ice cream and cry
many problems that people experience are
not noticed by the public due to the
person being affected hiding it or the
public not taking the time to observe it
we don’t take notice these emotional
problems it can make a person feel like
they’re worthless by just doing one
thing to acknowledge someone’s emotion
can make a person feel like she has
cared about this could be as simple as
sharing a smile or laugh of someone just
a small kind of gesture could change
somebody’s day for the better for the
new year Natalie and I have made a goal
to make a minimum of one person smile
every single day for the year one fears
over we collectively will make at 730
people smile
this goal is not hard to do and might
not seem significant on a daily basis
but overall it can impact many people’s
lives we have been conducting an
unofficial social experiment what we say
this you know we’ve been smiling at
people that we know or don’t and I’ve
been mentally recording their reactions
so far I’ve known that we’ve shared a
smile with has smiled back or start a
conversation with us as soon as they saw
a smile at them their eyes instantly
smiled and was happy to us it’s just a
smile but to then it could be more than
that it could make their day I had
multiple reactions from many different
that I’ve smelled that over the course
of a few months the one that sticks with
me the most however is this is one time
and I was walking home from school and
right after sandy and I decided to start
our experiment I was just walking home
like I normally do when I saw this one
lady someone her 20s up for a run
she looked absolutely exhausted like
she’s what to stop my first thought was
hey why don’t I start with this
experiment now so just as she’s about to
stop I gave her smile the funny thing is
she didn’t stop she smiled back and kept
going strong after she passed by I
looked behind me to see if she kept
running and she did about a month ago my
friend wasn’t doing very well
emotionally even though I had no idea
what was going on I was told her that I
was there for her and supported her no
matter what I let her know that she
wants to talk about it I was there
meanwhile I just tried to make her happy
I made her laugh whether she knows I was
trying to or not and I’m a trip almost
every day that she was doing as well as
possible there are some days when she
said she was doing fine I could tell my
voice emotions and body language if she
wasn’t actually doing well at all when
there were days like that I just made
sure to hang out with her and try to
make her day a little bit better by
being kind to her I just keep thinking
if we could do that every day do you
know how many people’s lives I can
improve I am naturally a smiley and
happy person so it’s easy for me to stay
that way but as I’ve gotten older a good
it’s hard for kids my age to do this
they could be possibly sad and oppressed
with really sad is that most of us will
go about our day not noticing we won’t
notice their cups we won’t notice when
they go to the bathroom we won’t notice
they try to wear a fake face of
happiness so we don’t know miss this is
why we need to be tired never really
know the full story of what’s going on
in their life we could be as happy as
ever but their mom could have just been
diagnosed with cancer we should think
what’s her problem as he sits alone at
the lunch table but it’s been give her
smile that says I need your to help and
go take a seat with her we should be
sharp the joy that we have with other
people when they can’t be happy
themselves just like sandy I’m usually a
happy and positive person who’s almost
always smiling and actually very
thankful that my life is compared to a
lot of people actually pretty great
however I do know some people whose
lives on it like that
I know people who used to struggle with
depression or still do I know people who
struggle with eating disorders and I
know people who struggle with anxiety
however I didn’t just stand back and
watch these people struggle I helped
them I would tell them whether love or I
tell them things I love about them that
others do too I do the best I can to put
a smile on their face so they have a
reason to stop recently I have gotten
very close to someone who used to have
ever since we started talking a couple
months ago they haven’t cut once I help
them get through that rough patch in
their life and move on from it not only
what I do that for them but I would do
that for anyone I don’t hope anyone get
through it because no one deserves to
have to go through that at all but
especially not alone it’s a hard thing
to do to help someone like that and
there’s not always a lot you can do
sometimes the only thing you can do is
just be there for them when they need it
this is one of the many reasons on why I
take
the challenge of making someone smile
every day because I paid to see the
people I care about struggle with this
kind of stuff and I want to do whatever
I can help change that you can do this
too you could help people who are
struggling it doesn’t have to be in a
huge way it could just be something as
simple as smiling that I can always at
school or giving them a compliment like
hey your hair looks nice today we are
all capable of this and we should focus
more on making others happy so the world
can be a better place even if they seem
fine to you on the inside
they could be struggling that’s why you
have to treat people kindly all the time
and give everyone a smile or compliment
we would like to have as many people as
possible join us on this journey if
everyone comes together we can start to
make a difference for people who
struggle in this world everyone needs to
start dividing but this is a problem
that is happening right now that there
is someone who’s standing on that ledge
deciding if they should jump we would
love to have you join us on this journey
you can be the person who helps change
the world one smile at a time
