Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I am an outlet to my friends, family and even strangers to come to and ask questions regarding safe sex and the LGBTQ community. I was the first person one of my friends came out to.
Why are you participating?: 

I have never had negative labels. I created and publicly identified by my own words and actions my whole life. Labels describe me; my personality, my orientation, my gender identity, how I see the world, but I never let them define me.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I saw someone drop their wallet with several hundred dollars in cash flying around in the wind and I picked it all up and chased after her to give her the wallet and all her money back.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I was brutally honest when it was not easy, but for the best.
Why are you participating?: 

To call someone a "hippie" has adopted a more negative connotation than the term deserves. There is no quintessential hippie, and if there were, I doubt he or she would be hugging a tree in their free time.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I took a gap year after high-school and traveled to a rural area of Ghana. While I was there I volunteered in an orphanage/school, where I taught 4th grade. At first I felt uncomfortable and under-qualified to teach these children, but soon realized that the orphanage could not afford to hire another teacher at that time--so I threw myself into the job. The accomplishments of those kids during my time teaching them is forever ingrained in my memory.
