Tell Us Your Good Deed

I mentor my international ESL students after they have left my classroom and transition into university life in America. I do this because people helped me (and my family) feel at home in my worldly travels. Knowing someone cares about you really helps when adjusting to a new culture.

Why are you participating?

People don't think of me as Puerto Rican because I'm "only a quarter" or have freckles, but I have always felt my PR heritage strongly and have always proudly listed it first when stating my Heinz57 American genetic makeup.

I try to smile and be kind. You never know if a simple smile could make someone's day!

Why are you participating?

Because people are so much more than just what they look like.

Why are you participating?

It is important to stop stereotypes and labels. People deserve to be treated with dignity and respect and shouldn't be judged. My hope is for people to be proud of who they are and live their life without fear or what others will think.
