Saved a young man from taking a bottle of pills to commit suicide. Brought him to a local ER and stayed with him until he was admitted. Have heard from him a few times over the years. He's glad to be alive and grateful.
I believe most people choose good most of the time. I love people!

I have adopted two children and taken in my handicapped godchild. There have been many good times and some pretty rough ones too. No doubt there is more of each to come. People say it's a good deed. I think it's just what you're supposed to do.
I love this project. Too often we think negatively of ourselves and others. This is an amazing way to show humanity a view of itself...

My work as a teacher at an urban elementary school affords me the opportunity to show girls and kids of color the power mathematics can have in their lives.
