Optimist Stereotypes Redefined

I regularly donate money to those in need. I don't make much money, because summer camp counselors don't get paid much. But I love what I do. I love having such a big impact on kids' lives. But that's besides the point. I try to donate my money. Just today I donated $30 to my teacher's fund to help with his step daughter's surgery. Sure I'd like to have the money for myself. But other people need it more. I've donated to those with cancer. Those who need money for school. A little girl who needed money to help get new school supplies.

Helped a friend fix their car while they were at work so it would be ready when they got out.

I helped build rainwater harvesting systems in rural Guatemala

Helped an old woman find her way home when she was lost.

I cut my new neighbors' lawn before they moved so it would look nice when they arrived
