Tell Us Your Good Deed

Every summer since I was a junior in high school I have devoted two weeks of my summer to volunteering as a camp counselor at Camp Sunshine in Maine. It is a camp for kids with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Camp Sunshine is my favorite place in the world; those families are some of the strongest people I have ever met in my life. Because the kids I have met there have given me the most eye-opening experiences of my life, I am now in school to become a PA to make a career out of helping children fight their battles against disease.

Why are you participating?

I am participating to support Quinnipiac University in its fight to stop the judgments and stereotypes that are made every day.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

In middle school, I interviewed a Vietnam war veteran for a school project. As I interviewed him, he told me about his life and I realized he didn't really have many people left in his to visit or take care of him. For the next few years, I sent him letters and cards hoping it brightened his day and made him feel cared for.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

Sharing umbrellas with random people while walking on rainy days; holding doors for people with their hands full; generally going out of my way to be courteous.

Why are you participating?

There's always opportunities to help others that require little or nothing from you; if more people realized that, we'd all be a lot better off. Stereotypes do nothing but hinder us all; I've lost track of how many times people have judged me due to my appearance.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I try to be a positive person for others and to encourage them in their walk with God.

Why are you participating?

I love how this project advocates eliminating evil from the face of the earth. There is evil all around but, if we all turn away from evil, even if it's a small group of people at first, eventually it will spread around the world.
