Tell Us Your Good Deed

I am often approached by strangers for help while out in public, and I always stop to talk with them and help lend an ear or a hand anytime I can!

Why are you participating?

I love learning about the person behind the labels and how this project explores the labels we give ourselves and others.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I volunteered as an English teacher for recent immigrant adults. It was so great to hear their goals for English: to help their kids with homework, to get a promotion to shift manager, to pass the citizenship test, etc.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I've had the opportunity to support several charitable organizations through volunteering. My favorite was being part of an event committee at an organization that provides art education to high school students!

Why are you participating?

As a teenager I felt that I had to live up to the labels that others gave me. Now I believe that you are your own person, regardless of how others define you, and that you should embrace all characteristics of who you are.

I smile at strangers to be friendly, I adopted a dog from an animal shelter, I volunteer time to my church, and a champion for the underdog.

Why are you participating?

It's a great opportunity to be part of this exciting project.
