I donated (and continue to donate) time, money, and materials to arts in Worcester.
I believe in the project, and I'm so pleased to see that it's still going on years in.

I became a resident assistant in order to help others. I learned early on that the greatest thing a person could have is someone they could talk to and who could help them get through difficult times. I'm there for my residents whenever they need me and I extend that helping hand (or shoulder) to anyone who needs it. It may not be grand or over the top but it is the little things that help people the most sometimes.
I am participating in order to help others make a stand and find the support they need in order to overcome whatever difficulties they may be encountering in life.
I've been a Girl Scout since I was five, and it helped shape who I am today. So, when a group of first graders wanted to start a troop and couldn't find a leader, my mom, sister, and I decided to form a Girl Scout troop for these girls. We were their leaders for 5 years, until I graduated high school. In that time, I watched my little first graders grow into thoughtful and caring girls, and was able to provide a positive role model for them.

I do my best to lead by example on a daily basis and practice patience, compassion and optimism. I have recently accepted a resident assistant position and am excited to motivate underclassmen to be the best students and community members that they possibly can and help them along the way!
I think this is a simple way that a large group of people can come together to show that people are not just what you see on the outside. Everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle so be kind, get to know a stranger and learn what they are really about!

I painted a chair for a charity auction. I have also done charity walks and runs.
This site was suggested to me after I carved a set of rubber stamps depicting "See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil." I think it is a great message to spread.

I decided to spend the rest of my life committed to rehabilitating injured people. I have seen how an injury can psychologically effect someone and I chose to help people for the rest of my life. As an Athletic Trainer and Physical Therapist, it will be my obligation to help people no matter what their background is to increase their quality of life. Accidents happen and people get hurt. It is important to have someone passionate and always smiling there by your side to make your life back to the way you want it to be.
Growing up I was always infatuated with my religion and decided to find ways to put it into my life. After I graduated high school, I decided to take a year off and moved to live in Israel for that year. While there I was able to volunteer and learned a lot about myself.
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.
I am participating to support Quinnipiac University in its fight to stop the judgments and stereotypes that are made every day.
