I'm a giving person and when my friends are down or in a bad situation, I am always there with open arms and shoulder if they need it.
Music Lover Stereotypes Redefined
Every summer since I was a junior in high school I have devoted two weeks of my summer to volunteering as a camp counselor at Camp Sunshine in Maine. It is a camp for kids with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Camp Sunshine is my favorite place in the world; those families are some of the strongest people I have ever met in my life. Because the kids I have met there have given me the most eye-opening experiences of my life, I am now in school to become a PA to make a career out of helping children fight their battles against disease.
I am participating to support Quinnipiac University in its fight to stop the judgments and stereotypes that are made every day.

In middle school, I interviewed a Vietnam war veteran for a school project. As I interviewed him, he told me about his life and I realized he didn't really have many people left in his to visit or take care of him. For the next few years, I sent him letters and cards hoping it brightened his day and made him feel cared for.

Sharing umbrellas with random people while walking on rainy days; holding doors for people with their hands full; generally going out of my way to be courteous.
There's always opportunities to help others that require little or nothing from you; if more people realized that, we'd all be a lot better off. Stereotypes do nothing but hinder us all; I've lost track of how many times people have judged me due to my appearance.

I try to be a positive person for others and to encourage them in their walk with God.
I love how this project advocates eliminating evil from the face of the earth. There is evil all around but, if we all turn away from evil, even if it's a small group of people at first, eventually it will spread around the world.
