Welcome to my week nine blog. It's been nine weeks and we've been able to make a lot of progress, especially this week. There is a short five weeks left of our project, and we've established goals for each week. This week, we reached out to the lifesavers club at our school, all about mental health awareness. We told them about our plan and they told us to give them the details, and that they'll get back to us, which leads me into week two. Our plan for next week is to get the word about the yoga session out next week and a definite date. After that, our next step is to find a space. We'd like to do it outside at the track, but midwest weather is unpredictable, so we're going to try to reserve the gym, just in case. After that, we plan to plan the actual yoga session and decide on what moves we're going to use, as they're is many . Finally, we are going to de-stress from this progress, by performing the moves as well. I hope you've enjoyed this 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. |
