A couple years ago I was at Panera eating lunch with my friends. I had gotten a salad but only ate a few bites of it and really wasn't hungry anymore. I noticed that there was a homeless woman begging for money right outside the window where we were sitting. It was the middle of winter and freezing cold outside. I went out and gave her my salad. She was incredibly gracious and I felt so happy to have helped her even in just a small way.
I like to stick up for people who can't stick up for themselves.
I hug at least one person per day.

I bought a ticket to a concert for a friend of mine cus he was having issues getting the ticket. I wanted to make sure he could enjoy the show too.
Seemed like the right thing to do! Also seems like fun! Also I'm all about misconceptions, I'm kinda a walking one I guess!

I am a high school math teacher. I teach classes for students who have recently arrived in the United States, primarily from Latin America. Many of my ELL students have limited former schooling. I provide a classroom environment for them that is safe and supportive. I am a source of encouragement for them to meet their goal of graduating from high school and pursuing their dreams.
I believe in this project and the founder.
I volunteer at the Helen and Harry Gray Cancer Center during vacations.

On my Robotics team there's this kid that just joined. He doesn't talk much, but he's in my physics class, so whenever I see him I always give him a smile, because he probably doesn't get too many of those.
I've been made of too many times for who I am because they don't understand it.

I'm an International Development and Social Change major. I really hope to use it in some beneficial way, to help people and reduce the great amount of suffering in the world. I'm particularly interested in health, especially sexual health. I am a sexual educator on my college campus. I am also extremely interested in studying the relationship between economic development, health, and the environment. I want to devote my life to something good, and am working hard to achieve that.
I think one of the most essential ways to improve our society is to encourage others to embrace egalitarianism - or the belief that everyone is equal in fundamental worth, no matter what labels society gives them.
