Mac User Stereotypes Redefined

Three years ago, I met a second year student from North High School at a Sister-to-Sister Conference. I was listening to a group of girls describe issues that they were struggling with. Afterwards, a 15 year old girl approached me to state that she was having a difficult time in her math class and was concerned about passing the mathematics portion of the MCAS that following spring. It was a serendipitous moment. I saw a spark in this young woman and knew she would be successful. We met weekly for 7 months, and she not only passed the MCAS, but got As and Bs in her math class.

With the help of a friend I started a Habitat for Humanity group at my college.
I think it is a very innovative way of showing the pointlessness of stereotyping when there is good in people and feel fortunate that I was able to take part in it.

I once bought a homeless man in Las Vegas a meal, talked with him while he ate it, and gave him ten bucks as I left.
With so much focus in the media on negativity, I'm happy to see a project that focuses on the positive.
