I created the "day of diversity" which was a campus wide event that took place April 1st to bring students, staff, and faculty to become aware of ALL diversity - tattooed people, pierced people, gay people. We had lectures and guests to speak from as far as Boston. We had prizes for all who participated in the event - No need to stare - make a new friend and share a culture was the theme of the day.

Why are you participating?

I love my school - I believe we have to express love and kindness. So this was right up my alley.

I try my best to be nice to everyone and help out anyone in need.

Why are you participating?

To support a cause that goes against labeling people because everyone is different and everyone has their own unique qualities to them.

I'm like a dog on a bone when it comes to getting young people to reach their full potential through education. Young men who have seen the inside of prison life have a particularly hard time finding opportunities for work. For me it's about getting them back into school and looking toward their future rather than looking back. It's about empowering them to make positive changes for themselves and their families.

I have volunteered at a local animal shelter as well as provided assistance and information to local public about rescuing pets and finding forever homes for the many amazing loving animals that are homeless. The most recent deed was helping a turtle cross the road so it didn't get squished!

Why are you participating?

I think this is a fantastic project that allows us to break through and show our humanity. There aren't enough labels to define us since we are each unique and special in our own way. Each one of us has the ability to compassionately reach out and do something good.

I guess my good deed that shines above all was being a foster parent for over 9 years. I helped raise, mold and redirect young lives between the ages of 9 to 18. It is an experience I certainly will not forget.

Why are you participating?

I teach salsa dancing and people of all races, creeds and colors walk through my door with the same goal..so I believe that despite our diversity, our differences , we all want the same things out of life....to live happily.
