Tell Us Your Good Deed

I stayed 'til closing at work to help my friends out despite being overstimulated because they're good people who have always supported me. The least I can do is to be there for the people who have been there for me. I will always lend an ear to them.

Why are you participating?

I feel like labels put people in a cage which limits what their dreams are. Whether it be what they love, their interests, what career they want, and what truly makes them smile.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

As a volunteer, I taught math to women seeing their GED (equivalent of a US high school diploma). Most of the women had never felt like they could do math. They were a great group, worked hard, and every one of them passed their math GED. They became comfortable with doing math.

Why are you participating?

I think it's important to acknowledge that being a white person brings privilege with it. I felt that choosing "white" as a label might be misinterpreted, so I chose "privileged."
