Rachel's Good Example Project: Love and Help other Children
From the National Children's Set A Good Example Student 6- to 8-year-old Competition, we have the winner, Rachel, from Michigan. Her sponsor was Dr. Abe Gershonowicz, a dentist from Sterling Heights, Michigan. Dr. Gershonowicz first began offering this program to children in his community a few years ago and is looking forward to the time when the contest will be offered as a city-wide event for children in his community. He was was present when the Mayor presented Rachel with a National Gold Medal! She was accompanied at the presentation of her award by her parents and her teacher with her husband and child.
Rachel's Project:
Rachel seems to be in the habit of getting active, helping others and being recognized with awards. Two years in a row now she participated in a fund raiser at her elementary school, raised the most money for her grade, and won a limousine ride for herself and a friend to Mc Donald's for lunch. Well, this time she won a five day vacation trip to Disneyland for being a good student, using good manners, listening to her teacher, raising money for her grade, and helping others.
Rachel loves and helps other children, one of the precepts of The Way to Happiness book and demonstrated that quality by helping a non-English speaking Korean boy in kindergarten learn to speak English for first grade, to understand what he needed to do, to participate in the class and
complete his homework. The boy's mother was grateful to Rachel for her help. Rachel also collected money at Easter and gave it to the church for poor children who do not have food and clothes. It makes her heart happy to help others-especially kids.
Rachel likes to read books, keeps her grades high, gets awards from her music teacher and especially likes to fund raise to help others. With activities like these, Rachel is a terrific example for all of us!
Next week you will hear more in detail about other National and Local Gold Medal winners of the Children's Set A Good Example Campaign and Student Competition.
