Tell Us Your Good Deed

I am a volunteer junior advisor at the YWCA's INIT initiative program. I was a delegate my senior year at the organization which focuses on the social justice issues that plague young teenagers today. We also talk about how we plan to make a difference in our school, work, and home communities.

Why are you participating?

This seems like a cool project and I want to be a part of it. I like the self-discovery in the process of identifying the labels that fit me.

I make an effort to smile at every person I see. I find that showing people kindness can go a long way.

Why are you participating?

People are often judged for things they should not be judged for. Instead of judging the differences of the people around us, we should embrace them, respect them and appreciate them because those differences are what make us human.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

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.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I believe that it is important to end every day knowing that you somehow tried to make it the world a better place since the morning. I apply this philosophy in everything. I work as a Middle School Guidance Counselor. I go above and beyond to make sure my students are safe emotionally and mentally. I want to impact the world for the better (like a superhero.) I work hard not only to be a great counselor, but a positive mentor and role-model for all of my students. A lot of children (and adults) need someone to help guide them discover who they really are.

Why are you participating?

I love photography (and making funny faces) so this project attracted me. I also believe that everybody has a little bit of good in them. Under all the negative labels we apply to everyone there is a story to that person and their life.
