Tell Us Your Good Deed

I volunteered to join YPAR to help make my school a better place for all of the students.

Why are you participating?

I have been stereotyped in my life and it has hurt me. I don't want that affecting others.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

Working in special education. I work with the students that districts have given up on. We are their "last choice" I like changing the stereotype that behavioral kids are "bad" All behaviors are a form of communication.

Why are you participating?

I am viewed as young and have been called "white washed" for stepping out of my upbringing and pursuing my education. I am now a year away from my doctorate. I am 33, single, no kids. My culture asks for me to be a stay-at-home mother.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I work and volunteer at Touchstone Farm (Lyndeborough, NH) to support people of different abilities, from children to adults, including first responders and veterans, to reconnect with themselves, their emotions and with fellow humans - through work with horses. I love the innocences horses can help people reconnect to in themselves.

Why are you participating?

I was drawn to the purpose and message of this project.
