Always willing to lend a helping hand.
I'm a daughter of a drug addict.
Life has been hard, but I've worked years to feel my own self and I don't do anything that does not agree with myself.
I am an educator, mentor, and confidant for the outdoor industry. When an employee under my care has something major happen in their life, they come to me for advice and a caring ear to listen.
I started a volunteer program at my university that unified college students and Special Olympics athletes. Over the past 3 years, we've had over 150 college students volunteer, and the number of athletes for local Special Olympics have increased drastically! The awareness in the small town has also increased, giving Special Olympics more donors, sponsors and money for our budget, making more and more athletes afford the costs.

I get overwhelmed by the scale of the world, so I'm studying to be a forester because it will let me do good on a medium scale, one project at a time.
There are plenty of good people in the world, and I hope that we can look past our differences and disagreements so that we can be kind to one another.
