Tell Us Your Good Deed

I took a gap year after high-school and traveled to a rural area of Ghana. While I was there I volunteered in an orphanage/school, where I taught 4th grade. At first I felt uncomfortable and under-qualified to teach these children, but soon realized that the orphanage could not afford to hire another teacher at that time--so I threw myself into the job. The accomplishments of those kids during my time teaching them is forever ingrained in my memory.

My good deed is part of my job as a photographer.
I mainly photograph babies and children...capturing their child's look, that makes the parent fall in love even more with their children, is all that much more rewarding.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I came to the aid of an elderly woman, whom had fallen down on the sidewalk. I had tissues in my car, so I ran and got the box to help the woman control her bloody nose. Fortunately there was a police officer on duty around the corner from her fall, so I ran over to him, and he called 911 for us. I waited with the woman and the police man until the ambulance arrived and she was being medically treated. She was very frightened, so it calmed her, for me to stay with her and console her. She ended up being just fine :-)

I believe that diversity makes us interesting. And a book should never be judged by its cover!

I am a Resident Assistant at Quinnipiac University. I strive to make freshman students have a positive adjustment to college life. I help them with personal and social issues and resolve any problems that they are encountering. I try to be a friend to them as well as a mentor. I do my best to act as a role model at all times.

Why are you participating?

I want everyone to understand that there is a lot more to a person than what you see. It is important to get to know individuals on a more personal level before jumping to conclusions.
