Taught Argentine tango to new students at Purdue University :)
I love the idea of this project. So many people place labels and judge others from the outside without knowing anything about them and it can be unfair. I like that this site is making a movement to prove simultaneously that everyone is unique and yet all the same :)

Last spring I traveled to Utila, Honduras to volunteer at an endangered iguana breeding facility. I was only there for a week but it changed my life for the better. It made me realize we are all connected and that we need to keep this world a great place for us and for future generations to come.
I donated (and continue to donate) time, money, and materials to arts in Worcester.
I believe in the project, and I'm so pleased to see that it's still going on years in.

I became a resident assistant in order to help others. I learned early on that the greatest thing a person could have is someone they could talk to and who could help them get through difficult times. I'm there for my residents whenever they need me and I extend that helping hand (or shoulder) to anyone who needs it. It may not be grand or over the top but it is the little things that help people the most sometimes.
I am participating in order to help others make a stand and find the support they need in order to overcome whatever difficulties they may be encountering in life.
I've been a Girl Scout since I was five, and it helped shape who I am today. So, when a group of first graders wanted to start a troop and couldn't find a leader, my mom, sister, and I decided to form a Girl Scout troop for these girls. We were their leaders for 5 years, until I graduated high school. In that time, I watched my little first graders grow into thoughtful and caring girls, and was able to provide a positive role model for them.

I do my best to lead by example on a daily basis and practice patience, compassion and optimism. I have recently accepted a resident assistant position and am excited to motivate underclassmen to be the best students and community members that they possibly can and help them along the way!
I think this is a simple way that a large group of people can come together to show that people are not just what you see on the outside. Everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle so be kind, get to know a stranger and learn what they are really about!

I painted a chair for a charity auction. I have also done charity walks and runs.
This site was suggested to me after I carved a set of rubber stamps depicting "See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil." I think it is a great message to spread.
