Tell Us Your Good Deed

One summer I went to a ranch in South Dakota to teach mentally and physically disabled kids to ride horses. The girl I got assigned to never showed up so I never got to know one kid that trip. I got to know them all! It was a wonderful experience to see them get up on their horses and ponies and knowing you taught them how to mount and steer the horse. Seeing that kind of growth and noticing how ecstatic they got about the progress they were making, it's kind of hard not to want to turn the memories of their gleaming smiles into a career.

Why are you participating?

I'm participating because I wish to end this stigma that Atheists don't have morals. When I tell people I'm atheist they ask if I have morals. Of course I have morals! It's possible to both not believe in God and be a gracious and good human being.

I love spreading happiness and other emotions through art! It makes me happy & I love seeing how others interpret my work. It’s always been a huge part of my life, and this is just the beginning. One day I’ll hopefully be able to bring the same happiness by adorning art lovers bodies in beautiful tattoos!

Why are you participating?

I support this project very much! Love seeing it at stART on the street every year.

When i was in school my mom would make me lunch every day for school. I hated carrying lunch to school i wanted to be like the cool kids who would buy luch at school. One day i met this boy who was a street kid and i just wanted to take him home and make him my little brother, i was too young to undersand that i couldnt. I wish i could have done more for him. I started carrying my lunch to school and i would see him every morning and give him my lunch box and collect it everyday after school. I did that for five years in high school.

Why are you participating?

I wish we didnt have labels but at the same time labels are what defines us. I have been called many things because of my sexuality. People expect gay people to 'come out', i dont see why we have to come out while straight people can just date. Why are we nay different?

I gave advice to someone that completely shaped their life today.

Why are you participating?

I think nowadays everyone's so critical and judgmental of others especially since we live in a world where social media is everyone's haven.

I make it a point to help any time that I see I can. From the small monetary donations to the donation of work and my time.

Why are you participating?

It's my belief that if we all take a little more time to care about each other, The impact that can be made on a global base can be vast.

I have volunteered with my local food bank, helped give holiday gifts to underprivileged children in my town and I try to be there for people when they need me.

Why are you participating?

I think that labels can help people get a better sense of their identity but shouldn't be forced onto people by others than themselves.

I donate blood every 6 months to American Red Cross Association and have been doing so since I turned 16. Because of my O Positive blood it's extremely valuable to hospitals and patients around the country!

Why are you participating?

Some labels are acknowledged in a positive way, some in a negative way. Such as being an art lover is acknowledged in a positive way. But whilst being vegan and introverted is shown in society as not normal, or weird. Which is extremely twisted.
