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 like to make people think about the world around them in unique ways, usually (and hopefully!) cheering them up at least a little in the process.
It seemed like a fun and very profound way to show individuals as interesting and good people.

I am honest with friends and family. I try to be the best role model I can be for my nephew. I still believe in love even though I've only known heartbreak.
I am participating in the No Evil Project because it is a wonderful outreach effort to spread diversity in the local community. Everyone is different, unique and special. This is an important cause that has made me look at diversity in ways I never thought possible.

I leave positive affirmations written in chalk or on sticky notes for strangers to stumble upon in public places. I love thinking about someone who was maybe having a bad day or a bad week coming across a "you are loved" or "you are worth it" and smiling... even if for just a moment.
Everyone has something beautiful to offer this world.

I recently spent time with my ex's niece a couple weeks ago. It was her 10th birthday. We hung out for the day talking about school and philosophies of life and we eventually made our way to Claire's to pick out a gift. I encouraged her to follow her dreams as a fashion designer as we commented on the latest trends. Friends would ask why I make the effort to spend time with her considering me and my ex's history, but I tell them, "wouldn't you have wanted someone to take your dreams seriously when you were ten?
To encourage others to do good even if nothing is returned in doing so. People need to understand that it's OK to be happy, and to not be afraid of helping others reach success. In doing so you will be rewarded in one way or another.

This year I volunteered at the Special Olympics. I spent the day bowling with elementary school children. Their smiles were contagious.
