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.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I have traveled to Natchez, MS to help students in need at the Holy Family Early Learning Center. This year will be my third year going in the trip.
Why are you participating?: 

I saw this book at Start on the Street in Worcester and thought it was a great way to pass this message along. I like to think that I am just a small part in a large group of people trying to make a difference.
