Tell Us Your Good Deed

Every day I help youth to believe in themselves and their capacity for a higher education. I have great relationships with "my kids" because I treat every single one with love and respect.

Why are you participating?

We live in a society where people are judged, stereotyped, and placed in boxes. It is too easy to look at a person and make a snap judgement about who they are and what they've done based on a single aspect of their appearance, demeanor, accent, etc.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I have been a volunteer for 17+ years for the Town of Clinton's Olde Home Day. An annual event that brings the community together, both young and old. Clinton’s Olde Home Day was started in 2000, following the town’s 150th anniversary.

Why are you participating?

To show how much good there is in the world today.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

Last term, a friend and I spent the day prepping and providing food to the veterans / homeless population in Worcester. Although it was an impromptu thing, I definitely felt the love and appreciation from the people that received the meal that I haven't felt / experienced in a while.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

One should not be defined by single 'good' moment in their entire lifetime. Rather, how much they strive to to do such kind acts. To answer your question, my "good deed" is that I continually seek to better myself, and so in turn I may better help those around me.
