Tell Us Your Good Deed

To faithfully visit and engage with my elderly relatives as they become increasingly homebound or in long-term care facilities. The visits would also include members of our extended family and that has made an impact on me growing up. Frequently I would include my family to allow them to see the special woman I married, Audrey, and the two wonderful girls we are blessed to have.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

When I was a kid, under 9 years old, I saved another child from drowning in a pool during a summer program.

Why are you participating?

I find this project interesting in so many ways. One is to see how I might have chosen a different label for someone based on my life experiences and perspective. Another is to see how the label might change my idea of who they are.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

Supporting my students' request to bring Rachel's Challenge to my high school made a significant change in the culture of the school. Every month, "random acts of kindness" filled the school and created an atmosphere of respect and support. Listening to the voices of my students resulted in many good deeds and brought about positive change for an entire school community.

Why are you participating?

Respect and acceptance of all individuals makes our family, community and country the great place it is today. Supporting this initiative should be a priority for all citizens.
