Straight Edge Stereotypes Redefined

After the earthquake in Haiti, my friends and I put on a concert to raise funds to send to Doctors Without Borders and The Red Cross. We gave free merchandise to those who supported these efforts. Although I only had $50 in my bank account to last me for 2 weeks, I happily sent all of the money we raised from our show to the two organizations we had chosen so they could help with relief efforts.

From track to basketball to even the classroom I always push others and myself to do better than they once believed, motivate them to push past their limits even when they believe they can't do it.

I participate in the Boston Heart Walk every year and help raise money.

During my senior year of high school, I got a group of friends together and made over 500 positive/encouraging notecards to put in all the seniors' lockers. We slipped them into the lockers after everyone had gone home and on the next day when people found them, we pretended to not know anything about it. (Hopefully none of my classmates see this!)
