I spent my vacations trying to help those brave enough to ask for it.

When I went to China for vacation over the Summer, I gave money and a smile to just about every homeless person I saw.
I think that this project is important in a world where competitiveness and seeking to individually get ahead is the mark of a successful person.
I am a great listener and confidant and enjoy being a sounding-board for friends, former and current colleagues, family, and acquaintances.
This project transcends so many things - the participants, our organizations, our daily grinds... It is a wonderful opportunity to link together in this digital age with a sense of community, whether or not we know one another.

I have helped several people translate in areas of service from Spanish, English, Cambodian, and Vietnamese. :)
To show society that labels are judgments that shouldn't discourage ourselves from being who we are, and there are good in this world that comes from everyone.

Three years ago, I met a second year student from North High School at a Sister-to-Sister Conference. I was listening to a group of girls describe issues that they were struggling with. Afterwards, a 15 year old girl approached me to state that she was having a difficult time in her math class and was concerned about passing the mathematics portion of the MCAS that following spring. It was a serendipitous moment. I saw a spark in this young woman and knew she would be successful. We met weekly for 7 months, and she not only passed the MCAS, but got As and Bs in her math class.
