A film about the how the pandemic affects our mental health and how to directly ask the question to someone who shows the warning signs of suicide.

What Hope Means to Me

|

“My entry is a narrative, and it is about how I was able to overcome personal challenges because I learned how to believe in hope.”

Shining in the City

|

“I chose the category of justice because of my personal experiences relating to being treated differently. , Seeing other people of color being treated poorly and noticing them having to change many things about themselves. What I learned about this project is that there are many people can look different from each other but still have many things in common.”

The Eye of Gratitude

|

I created an eye with everything i’m grateful for like my family, my pets, my friends, food, a home, trees, the earth, exercising, money, my education, and Jesus. I made this because I though it was very creative and unique. A new thing that I learned while working on this was that I really got to think about what i’m grateful for and why i’m grateful for that.

Mind Over Media

|

Our group chose to focus on suicide prevention because it was the most meaningful to us. Before planning the video, the members of our group deeply discussed quarantine and the effect the pandemic has had on the mental health of teens. We decided to ensure our video emphasized the importance of reaching out to a friend or loved one. We wanted to spread the message that any kind gesture, no matter how small, can do wonders.

Grateful from Within

|

My submission is a double exposure on adobe photoshop. Its about me being happy and glad about my culture. I tried to add as much as I could to show the great things about my culture. Im most grateful for my culture because it allows me to know where me and my family come from. There are so many great people that I was able to meet.

Love Your Body

|

I choose this category because I want to bring awareness to it. I had once lost a lot of weight due to me being very sad. It was fairly noticeable and people started to commented about it. Some of the words surrounded by the women in the drawing are what people said to me. I then started to binge eat in order to gain back all the weight I lost. I would try to eat as much food as I could, unespecially unhealthy ones. I wish I would’ve known back then that there were oraginzations out there willing to help me.
