“My life has probably changed 180 degrees since the start of the project just because by doing these projects I am reminded of these simple messages that I need as reminders in my own life.My name is Massoud Adipour and I am the founder of Make DC Smile.I decided to put on my 'bucket list' to hold up a sign 'Honk if you love someone' at a busy intersection.So I just got a couple of people involved and we started in August of 2012 and we did it for 6 months straight every Monday once a week.And it kind of developed into other projects and we turned it into an overall project called 'Make DC Smile'.It was kind of like a social experiment at first but at the end of the day it turned into more than that.We realized after 5 minutes a lot people of were waving, they were smiling…you could just see the difference in people’s faces.Of course at first you think its kind of weird because it’s like what are you doing? You’re going to a busy intersection on a Monday morning?I decided Monday is the day of the week that no one looks forward to the most…including myself.Every day is like a battle sometimes because we go into work and sometimes we don’t have time for the things we truly love in life.People expect when you’re out here that you’re protesting or something that is very political or negative since we’re in DC but I don’t know its just something that is just vey simple that everyone needs.
