For my first hacking project, I decided to go to the Main Mall on the University of Texas campus and hold a poster-board with the words “Free Hugs” on it.  The first time that I went, I experienced one of the most amazing days of my life!  Hundreds of people came up to me and gave me hugs.  Friends, strangers, peers, adults, and people of every size, shape, and race came up to me and my roommates to give us hugs.  I went several other times and repeated the hack while my roommate, Mo Lawson filmed me.  I compiled two and a half hours of footage into a video meant to inspire people.  My purpose behind the hack was to spread the love and compassion of Jesus Christ, and I feel that the video illustrates that purpose.

 

 

Our original inspiration for this hack came from this video that we saw on YouTube.com
