Imagine a world where everyone is smiling, relaxed and happy. A world where there is no hate, no bullying and no reason to fear. A world where you are welcome everywhere you go, and where everyone is your friend. Now imagine yourself in that world, how confident and relaxed you would be…
You can create that world. It’s easier than you think. Talk to someone you’ve never spoken to. Do something helpful at home without being asked. Listen to a friend’s problems. Smile at the people around you. Your act of kindness can and will impact upon the other person’s life. Be the change you want to see in others, and even more wonderfully, it will impact upon you.
This is what Kind Hearts is about.
It is not magic, or an airy-fairy dream, or a ‘soft option’. It takes courage to be nice to someone who isn’t nice to you, compassion to realise people are just like you and sometimes feel lonely and excluded, strength to stand up and help someone when no one else does, and respect for yourself to be open, natural and to keep smiling.
And you aren’t alone. At Mortimer Community College, there are people just like you who are celebrating the self-confidence, new friends and better grades that come from being part of Kind Hearts.
So are you ready to take the first step to changing your life and making a difference in the world around you? Go on! We DARE you!
