Tell Us Your Good Deed

I walked 25 miles on the overnight leg at "The Relay for Life", and helped our team raise lots of money for the cause. I try to be kind to people every day, remind myself to not judge, and to be grateful for all that is good in life.

Why are you participating?

Promoting goodness is reason enough to be a part of this.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

The other day, a friend of mine was struggling with the thought of a presentation at the end of the day. After a few minutes of calming down, I sat with my friend and we went through the presentation over and over until he felt comfortable enough. With a little support and courage, my friend was able to conquer his fear and present with no problems. He said he hadn't been so proud of himself in a very long time, and it was all thanks to me.

Why are you participating?

I am participating in this for all the kids who haven't found their voice yet. I'm one of the many who don't listen to the stereotypes which have been labeled to myself.

I bring extra money to school for ice cream day and I give it to my friends who don't have any, so that they can buy a special treat too.

Why are you participating?

The world will be a better place to live if everyone just stops fighting.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I am known as the Mayor in our town. I know nearly everyone! I love to give hugs, kisses, swim and dance. I would give anyone the shirt off my back if they needed it. I am legally blind from the albinism, but one would never know it!

Why are you participating?

I never use the word albino, I want people to see people who are albino otherwise known as albinism are regular people just like you and me. I just need to wear sunglasses outside and a hat. I also use a lot of sunscreen!! Plus, my parents really like this project idea!
