Experiment Day 20 and 21: Helping Others (Facebook)

I have continued to be sick and I am getting worse and I haven't been able to go to school or work.  I feel horrible, but I don't want to not do my experiment because it is important to me.  I decided to try to help people from online.  I didn't really know where to start, like if I should go on my Facebook and try to find someone that was having a bad day and try to help them or if I should go onto my blog and see if any of my English classmates needed advice or help on their projects.  I decided to go onto my Facebook and try to help some people.  I found this to be actually very easy because I was surprised and shocked to see that there were many people who were either having a bad day or who were upset and could use someone to talk to.  So I started to message them and to ask them how their day went and I tried to talk to them on chat and help them.  I also just said hello or asked how some people were doing because I know that sometimes that is all it takes to make someones day better or to show them that I care.  I am doing this internet form of helping people on my 20th and 21st days of helping others mainly because I am sick and not able to go out and help others because I don't want to get them sick, but also to make a very good point.  I am showing people that it doesn't always take a lot of energy to help others and that you can even do it from the comforts of your own home.

I am enjoying helping others this way, but I am hoping that I can get better and be able to go about my normal life and help people outside and in person.  I am trying not to let my sickness get the best of me, but it has been rough and I am hoping that today is my turning point and I will be on my way to being back to normal by tomorrow.
