Tell Us Your Good Deed

Helping teenagers suffering from depression, and being a leader for those who need a role model.

Why are you participating?

As a Latino, a Satanist, a male, a pagan, or even being American, I have labels. These are all labels that come with pre-judgment and would not paint me in the best image and would send fear or discrimination, or just dislike to the eyes of an on-looker.

I have learned the value of knowing the English language through volunteering at a nonprofit organization teaching non-English speaking immigrants the language. I've learned that judging immigrants based on the fact that they don't know English doesn't mean they are uneducated. Many of the people I have worked with our professionals in their country and are the bravest and strongest people I have ever met!

Tell Us Your Good Deed

As a teacher of students with disabilities, I make sure that everyday I provide my students with the support, resources, and the care they need in order to ensure their personal growth and academic success. Being part of my students' growth and success is very rewarding and it is one of the reasons why I love my job so much. As a mother, and as a professional Latina woman, I want to be a role model for my sons and students. I want them to know that with motivation, dedication, and effort dreams and goals can be achieved.

Why are you participating?

I like the No Evil Project concept that promotes the fact that what makes us special and unique are our differences!

I guess my good deed that shines above all was being a foster parent for over 9 years. I helped raise, mold and redirect young lives between the ages of 9 to 18. It is an experience I certainly will not forget.

Why are you participating?

I teach salsa dancing and people of all races, creeds and colors walk through my door with the same goal..so I believe that despite our diversity, our differences , we all want the same things out of life....to live happily.
