I smile at strangers all the time, and vounteer at my church
Growing up I was bullied and labeled with negative labels. I felt like an outsider. Then, I realized that that other people who were also bullied were really cool people. Label are just labels --sometimes they are accurate, sometimes they're not.

When I was a junior in high school, I founded a non-profit organization called Root Rescue. It provides health and beauty care products to local shelters and families in need. I know first hand that a person's outward appearance and hygiene are directly related to their confidence. I grew up in a family of substance abuse and my parents refused to provide the money for hair and skin related products. It's difficult to go into the world, whether it's school or the work force, without feeling confident about your appearance.

I'm a volunteer for Why Me & Sherry's House, a nonprofit organization that benefits and creates activities and fun events for children and families effected by cancer.
I wanted to participate because I believe in equal treatment for everyone - no matter they're interests, looks or beliefs. Everyone is special and has something to offer the world.
During my senior year of high school, I got a group of friends together and made over 500 positive/encouraging notecards to put in all the seniors' lockers. We slipped them into the lockers after everyone had gone home and on the next day when people found them, we pretended to not know anything about it. (Hopefully none of my classmates see this!)
Our labels don't define us; our actions do.
