I always to watch out for my loved ones (friends, family, etc.). So whenever I know if someone's feeling down, I try to bring joy to their lives by either compliment them, spending time with them, or even buying them a small gift that may mean something

I volunteer for ACE in Worcester. They support African refugees and immigrant families to ease into American life. I help by tutoring the kids and give my time when I can. Just one of the many things I do at WPI.
Why are you participating?:
I never want to be seen as a stereotype. I want people to see a man who loves, life, people, and the world. This is an opportunity to look a little deeper then face value and see a little more of what makes me, me.

Why are you participating?:
It is important to stop stereotypes and labels. People deserve to be treated with dignity and respect and shouldn't be judged. My hope is for people to be proud of who they are and live their life without fear or what others will think.

I once smiled (huge) at a sad looking man with both legs missing in a wheelchair riding down the street. He quickly glanced at me and I smiled and waved at this complete stranger. He looked away after that glance and looked back when he realized I did that. His sad face turned into a happy face filled with a smile. I wondered if this crippled man ever got and gets people (even random) to acknowledge him with that much kindness and as simple as a smile.
Why are you participating?:
Everyone is unique and filled with mystery. Stereotypes don't define us, well shouldn't. Everyone is weird in their own way and we should embrace our differences.

Tell Us Your Good Deed:
Right now I'm working with a deep canvassing campaign to talk with people about their views on abortion. I'm such an introvert so sometimes it's hard to knock on a stranger's door and ask about such a sensitive topic, but the conversations I've had are incredible and people are really appreciative of the chance to be heard. Through this work we hope to open a broader cultural conversation and encourage people to re-examine their own stigmas and assumptions.
Why are you participating?:
This project is so encouraging and is a wonderful reminder that each person has something to offer. Good deeds don't have to be huge and awe-inspiring! Everyday acts of kindness really make a difference.
