Pay it Forward

Pay it Forward.
I am curious if any of our members have been involved in this phenomenon. Either as giver or receiver ?
The Trevor McKinney story...............
Reuben St. Clair, the teacher and protagonist in the book “Pay It Forward,” starts a movement
with this voluntary, extra-credit assignment: THINK OF AN IDEA FOR WORLD CHANGE, AND PUT IT INTO ACTION.
Trevor, the 12-year-old hero of “Pay It Forward,” thinks of quite an idea.
He describes it to his mother and teacher this way: "You see, I do something real good for three people.
And then when they ask how they can pay it back, I say they have to Pay It Forward. To three more people. Each.
So nine people get helped. Then those people have to do twenty-seven."
He turned on the calculator, punched in a few numbers. "Then it sort of spreads out, see. To eighty-one.
Then two hundred forty-three.
Then seven hundred twenty-nine. Then two thousand, one hundred eighty-seven. See how big it gets?"
...
Some of you may have seen the film or read the book.
I am wondering did any of you attempt to put this into practice or action ?

I've seen the movie.
My firends and i actually did it a little at school, but sorry to say that in a high school, it isn't always seen as something everyone wants to do. It did spread a little though. I've been on both ends.
