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 love helping people that need my help. I try everything I can just to keep my love one and friends happy no matter what the cost is.
2 years ago, I have help my high school to organized a fundraiser for Haiti after that earthquake happened.
I'm a giving person and when my friends are down or in a bad situation, I am always there with open arms and shoulder if they need it.
Cheshire, CT

With my church, I have helped to rebuild and repaint houses whose owners could not afford to do the work themselves.
I've participated in many organizations and events that benefit children with cancer. In high school, I was the President of a club that raised money for the Tomorrow's Children fund. Now, at Quinnipiac University, I am the current PR chair and future President of the Irish Club which sponsor events and raises money to be donated to the St. Baldrick's foundation.

I served as a teenage role model and leader to the young ladies of my community. Twice a week I would go to work and be ambushed by many smiles and girls. It was the greatest feeling to leave work and see the smiles that I'd put on the girls faces and the smile that they'd put on mine. Now, I'm a junior at Salem State University, and I make certain to continue to work with others as I'm a tour guide and aid prospective students and families in making the decision as to where they will spend their college careers.
Because in the world, labels shouldn't mean anything. This project is a great way for people to label themselves in a way that expresses who they truly are... it's 100% acceptable to be yourself!
