When I was in high school I was part of an International Relations class. Together with my class, I helped raise money to buy a buffalo to feed families in a poor village in Africa, adopt two baby elephants to save them from immediate death by poachers, provide economic relief to those affected by the earthquake in Haiti and much more. I am very passionate about International Relations and was very happy to be a part of the class and make a difference in the lives of others!

A group of friends and I were in Manhattan a year ago and we found a child who was walking alone through Central Park. We helped that child find her mother and told her not to ever leave her child alone because she could have easily been taken away by someone. Luckily, we were the ones who found her.

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.

Every year I make sure my mom gets a Christmas and Birthday gift because my dad usually forgets, and my siblings are to young and too teenage to care.
Why are you participating?
Not only do I fence, I also love the whole art of fighting and just how noble and amazing it can be, which is not exactly how everyone feels about it. Also, I hate when people touch my hair, which is a cause for jokes, and few bookworms are appreciated in life.

Just everyday kindness to the people I wait on. Lots of smiling, lots of listening, lots of kindness back toward me.
