By Korey, DePaul Healthy Trailblazer Journal | The last good decision I made was at home. My brother needed help with his homework. I helped him with reading and more.

I was in a good state of mind and felt like helping someone. I made the decision so he wouldn’t fail. 

I know it was a good thing to do because everybody was busy and couldn’t help him. He was sad and I don’t want my brother to be sad.It’s always good to be kind and nice because you never know what somebody is going through. Doing the smallest thing can make a big difference to someone. You could brighten up somebody’s day.
