Tell Us Your Good Deed

I am currently student teaching in a first grade classroom. Every day I treat my students with respect and compassion because I want to see them grow to be the best that they can be. They may just be 5 and 6 years old but they are already so smart and so thoughtful!

I always try to look at both sides of the story putting myself in the other's shoes as best I can. I think this is the only way we can truly achieve harmony. Not always successful, but it is my goal.

Why are you participating?

As a librarian I always say, you can't judge a book by its cover. Let's not judge people by their labels either.

Just the other day while shopping in the craft store, I looked down and saw a $5 dollar bill. I then said out loud, "Did anyone lose money?" People looked at me and shook their heads No. I then told the cashier and she picked it up and saved it in case anyone was looking for it.

Every year I volunteer as a lifeguard at the Windham Special Olympics swim meet as a lifeguard. Athletes from all across Connecticut come to compete and to enjoy different sport clinics. I love seeing the smiles on the athletes faces as they finish their events and are so proud of themselves for accomplishing their goals.

Why are you participating?

I was passing by and was asked to participate. I hope that this project shows that what you see and that labels are only a tiny bit of who we are.

Everyone has good in them and everyone is different. I'm so proud to work in such a diverse school. People's differences are beautiful and encouraging. I love giving back to the community, and to my students in need. Support Andy’s Attic

Why are you participating?

I think this is a brilliant way to get everyone to stand up against stereotypes, bullying, and a way to feel positive about who you are.
