Tell Us Your Good Deed

I smile every day In class to make my classmates and teacher see the positive side of life and I tell them that their smile is the best wrinkle they would ever have. I smile because with a smile you may light up somebody's world, so smile, make yours and someone else's life better

Why are you participating?

To make other people in my class join also to show other people that even something as small as just taking pictures can light up someone's world to the max and may show them something positive of themselves and make them feel better.

I live in a place where more often than not parents are busy working a lot of hours are not sufficient in English to help their children on their homework. At a local church I helped tutor students in both math and writing from kindergarten to the 6th grade.

Feeding the homeless. My brother and I always go out and see a bunch of homeless people at times we get stopped for change. One night in Boston, we bought this man 3 meals and gave him $50 to get a haircut and buy something he wanted. It feels goo to help a little even if you can contribute only a little bit

Why are you participating?

It's for a good cause

Listening. Everyone has a story that they are dying to share with someone. I find that when I listen to someone's story, the smile they walk away with afterwards is much bigger than the smile they'd walk away with from any advice I can give.

I'm passionate about social justice issues so I try to educate myself and others on fair trade, sustainability, and privilege. I served in the Peace Corps in Paraguay, South America from 2001-2003. I love to serve others and I am fortunate enough to continue service work in my current job. I volunteer every year to lead a service trip for students in and outside of the U.S.

Why are you participating?

I am proud to be a Latina female Divorcee and I wear those labels without an apology. They have made me who I am today, but I know I am also more than that I encourage everyone to know their story and tell others their story. "I have decided to stick with love.

I've always been a very open minded person. Whenever I meet someone new, I put any previous judgments aside and try to get to know someone for who they are based on an opinion I've formed on my own. I am extremely against stereotypes and make sure I never engage in that manner.
