I helped organize a competitive, community-oriented creative-writing/performance poetry group in Tunkhannock, PA called The Breaking Ground Poets. We offer workshops and hold open mics, and host local competitions. We also invite published performance poets to visit and perform, and we attended Brave New Voices in August.
Why are you participating?
Because I believe in the potential of every person to do great things and rise above their selfishness and circumstance. People are fucking beautiful.

I teach children how to swim in the summer. I'm lifeguard, CPR, and AED certified. Some children are terrified of the water and it's up to me to prove to them that there is nothing to fear. It feels so good to be able to help someone overcome their fear and to learn a powerful skill that is often over looked. By the end of the summer most children are able to jump in the deep end and enjoy their time in the water when just three months earlier they were so afraid of it. I believe that everyone should learn how to swim because that would save a lot of lives each year.
Why are you participating?
Anyone can do good things, even if it's smiling to someone on the street or holding the door open for someone walking behind you. These small things have a profound impact on the lives of others and people often overlook them.
