Tell Us Your Good Deed

I am a mentor for Workforce Alliance Youth Mentor. I mentor a young teenager from New Haven, giving her gimps at what she can do in her future. Us mentors help motivate the teenagers, push them to attend college and to do better. I also do a lot community service through my sorority Sigma Gamma Rho sorority Inc. We raise awareness for AIDS, Cancer, and the need for Bone Marrow Donors. We teach Children about finances, help them develop essential life skills, deal with peer pressure and negativity, and supply them with school supplies.

Why are you participating?

I believe that labels restrict our minds to beautiful amazing people. If we judge just based on the stereotypes, we miss out on an amazing human beings. We are all divers, and when we accept it and bind together we can form beautiful friendships and stop hatred, anger, and misunderstanding.

I love being a volunteer reader at Audio Journal, where we broadcast the readings of daily newspapers and magazines, live on air, for people who are blind, vision-impaired or for anyone who cannot access the printed word.

Why are you participating?

It's my belief that the world would be a much happier place if we accepted each others differences and learned to be less judgmental.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I volunteer with the Cub Scouts (but the Scouts do a good deed EVERY day!)

Why are you participating?

This project is a great idea. There is evil in the world. But there is a lot of good in the world, too, and it is important to remember that.
