Tell Us Your Good Deed

I always try to treat people the way that I would want to be treated.

Why are you participating?

Margaret Mead once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world: indeed it's the only thing that ever has." I want to help.

I believe people can reach their true potential...no one needs to do it alone.
Have patience and provide support. We learn from and with each other.
Dream Big.

Why are you participating?

This is an awesome project. People get to define themselves, not have others define them.
It's fun and engaging. It is inspiring to see so many different people who, together, make up the rich fabric of our community.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

One good deed I was able to take part in was to feed the less fortunate. On a cold thanksgiving day, my children and I volunteered for a program and we delivered thanksgiving dinner to elders and families in need.

Why are you participating?

There is a verse in the bible that says, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21). I truly believe in this. I believe that everyone is capable of doing "good" things. Practicing and living a life of good deeds is a choice you make.

I'm always doing something good, but I especially do good things for the community, like volunteering and contributing to events with my ROTC friends!

Why are you participating?

Despite all things that North has encountered this past year, I'm participating in this "No Evil" project because I think it's time us North High students and faculty show everyone that the perception they have of us is wrong!

I donate regularly to our local animal shelter and always try to help find homes for animals in need. This summer my daughter and I will volunteer as kitty cuddlers at the shelter. Please consider your local animal rescue league if you are looking to adopt an animal!

Why are you participating?

Although we may seem different, inside we really have more similarities than differences. This project showcases that fact. In a world of negative news stories and trashy tv, it's nice to be a part of something with a positive spin.

One recent good deed involves volunteering for a local neighborhood group. Currently I am in charge of social marketing and taking minutes for the Green Hill Neighborhood Association in Worcester, MA. We plan different activities to bring people together to make a better community.This month we celebrated Earth day by picking up trash in our neighborhood. It feels great to be part of the solution!

Why are you participating?

I'm participating because I believe that there is more good than evil, more love than hate, and negative labels certainly can have an effect on people. You can choose to fit in the box of the label or you can break out of it. Some labels are forced onto you - fight it! Education is the key.
