Tell Us Your Good Deed

I am training to be a school psychologist, so I work with students who learn differently in order to determine how we can help that student be successful in the classroom. Every child should leave school feeling like they're cared about and that they learned something!

Why are you participating?

I think the message is great- there is no characteristic that determines the kind of person you are. Only your actions and intentions

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I was a mentor at my high school. A small seniors got matched up with one or two freshman in danger of dropping out. I got paired up with two cousins who didn't take school seriously. As the year went on, I saw progress and by the end of the year after meeting with me one period a day, they were A students and on Principals List for the first time ever.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

My good deed is my chosen life profession as a cosmetologist and bringing people's inner beauty to the surface. I have a strong passion for doing hair and making people look as beautiful as they feel.

Why are you participating?

I am participating in this project because I have always been the kind of person to break labels and stereotypes. I don't believe in any of that, everyone is unique for a reason!

Tell Us Your Good Deed

Every year I help organize and participate in bi-annual neighborhood cleanups, during which members of our community help to pick up tons of trash, literal tons. It's a little thing I can do to help keep my neighborhood a clean, nice place to live, as well as reducing the amount of littering in the neighborhood.

Why are you participating?

I am a very well rounded individual so I don't think I, or anyone else for that matter, can fall under just one title. I am not a stereotype.
