At the end of recess I help with picking up all the toys so the teachers don't have to do it all.
Artist Stereotypes Redefined
Rutland, MA
United States
I take every day as an opportunity to add to the world around me; I paint colorful, bright, happy paintings which seem to make others feel good! I organize fun events to gather people together so that we may laugh and enjoy each other. But most importantly, I'm investing everything I have to raise three happy human beings who I hope will continue to ADD to the world long after I'm gone. It's a great planet that deserves only the best we have to offer!
Because I TRULY believe in your mission and I whole-heartedly support the arts. I hope you go global!

I created a non-profit organization that helps young kids express themselves through art.
I believe that you should never label anyone. Even if you think the label is a compliment or in your opinion stating the "obvious", it can really make someone feel limited.

Dudley, MA
United States
As a foster parent, I try to help children and encourage their families to take time to unlearn the evils of the world and learn that there is a safe place somewhere for everyone.
Paxton, MA
United States
I gathered random folks together, a few years ago, to open a discussion on civility (or lack of it/divisive politics, etc.), to come together to find commonality, and support those who are out there working to break down stereotypes in our community.
It's the little things we do that make the difference
Working with inner city children, keeping them smiling
To be a strong role model for the girls I work with everyday. Teaching them that it is great to be different, creative, strong and happy!

I help to watch my little Brother when we are playing out in the yard. He is only three years old and he tries to ride his tricycle out to the street.
Because my Tio asked me to.

I try to volunteer as much as I possibly can. I always say that if every one of us gave at least 4 hours of our time a week to volunteer activities, there would be no end to the things that we could accomplish for those in need.
It's a GREAT idea and it's just the right thing to do. When I was younger, I was told that Photography wasn't a REAL career and I wasn't allowed to pursue it in school. Years and many false starts later, I have decided to pursue that dream.
