Hello, and welcome to my week eight blog post! I'm sad to say that this week, we have made no real progress. Unfortunately, we have not had a lot of time to work on our project. We've been unable to discuss much, as our schedules clash quite often, but we still have many plans in the making. As the project progresses, we continue to feel as though we go slower and slower. This process is very aggravating, because we seem to make a lot of progress, but in reality we are falling short of what we would like to achieve. In other news, we've noticed our school has been doing their share in mental health awareness, and have been selling t-shirts in order to spread suicide awareness, which is amazing. We hope to be as impactful in our school as the project goes on. I hope we make more progress in the coming week, and also that you enjoyed reading my week eight blog.

Introduction-Week OneHello! I'm Jackie and I attend Civic Memorial High School. I am working on this amazing project, "Project Auxilium" with two of my friends as well. We decided to do this project together because we all have a passion for raising awareness for mental health because we all have family members who suffer or have suffered from some form of mental illness. We also noticed that many of our friends who have problems have no clue what they are, and believe that its normal. Our goal is to raise awareness for mental health, but we are not exactly sure what we event we plan to put on, potentially a mental health fair, a five k/ fun run or picnic. In order to put on this event, we plan to do many fundraisers through our school and community, like penny wars, selling t-shirts and whatever else that seems to benefit us. My fear is that we may not be successful in advertising and have little turn out to our event, but I believe that we will be able to do well. To combat this fear, we are going start and manage a few social media pages(most likely an Instagram page and Twitter) to spread awareness as well. Our dream would be to be able to make our event annual and not just a one time project. I'm very excited to be able to work with an amazing team to make a big difference in our small town. |
