An Envelope and a BoxAs I first found out about the good deeds project, I was anxious to see who I would receive. A teacher? A friend? An enemy? I placed my card into the pile and reached to pull a name. I opened the ace of diamonds to find Na Lynch-Shaw's name written inside. Now of course I had known Na for the past year and a half, but I had no idea what sort of a deed to do for her. Naturally, I turned to her boyfriend for help. He told me that her favorite thing to do was watch movies, and that she loved strawberry fruit snacks. I thought it would be easy enough to buy her an AMC gift card and a box of fruit snacks, but what would I really gain from that? And how would that help her? I decided that I would find that out later on. So Friday morning I had a mutual friend of ours hand her a box of fruit snacks with an envelope taped to the front. Our friend later told me that she was happy to get the fruit snacks, but even more excited when she opened the envelope to find $25 to AMC Theaters. It was only then that I realized that I had made someones day, and in return her satisfaction had made my day.
