Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I like to make people think about the world around them in unique ways, usually (and hopefully!) cheering them up at least a little in the process.
Why are you participating?: 

It seemed like a fun and very profound way to show individuals as interesting and good people.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I am honest with friends and family. I try to be the best role model I can be for my nephew. I still believe in love even though I've only known heartbreak.
Why are you participating?: 

I am participating in the No Evil Project because it is a wonderful outreach effort to spread diversity in the local community. Everyone is different, unique and special. This is an important cause that has made me look at diversity in ways I never thought possible.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I leave positive affirmations written in chalk or on sticky notes for strangers to stumble upon in public places. I love thinking about someone who was maybe having a bad day or a bad week coming across a "you are loved" or "you are worth it" and smiling... even if for just a moment.
Why are you participating?: 

Everyone has something beautiful to offer this world.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I spent time with my ex-boyfriends niece a couple weeks ago. It was her birthday. She is 10. I brought her to Claire's and encouraged her to follow her dreams as a fashion designer as we commented on the latest trends. Most people don't understand why I keep her in my life after what me and him went through, thinking it keeps me thinking about the past. I tell them, "wouldn't you have wanted someone to believe in your dreams when you were ten?" I don't like the term good deed. It implies that good deeds need to be thought about and encouraged. They should come naturally, like courtesy and respect.
Why are you participating?: 

I was asked to, and accepted happily. People need to understand that it's OK to be happy, and to not be afraid of helping others reach personal success.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I do my best to help others feel comfortable with themselves by always being myself. Having someone accept you for who you truly are is the most valuable friendship of all.
Why are you participating?: 

I am participating to prove that you're more than a label and inspire others to "own it."

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I try to make at least one person laugh everyday . Even if it is for that one minute, it is important to let all insecutiries and stresses go because I believe the best thing in life is laughter. Hopefully my laughter is contagious and helps people bring joy to their lives.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I have volunteered at my local hospital since I was a Freshman in high school. While I don't volunteer as often as I did in the past, my contribution to the hospital makes me feel like I've made a difference in the community and improving the lives of those in need.
Why are you participating?: 

There is so many prejudices and preconceived notions that people make about others subconsciously, without even getting to know the person.
