a whole. Each one of us has our own stories and encounters;
some happy moments, also some scary and negative ones.
It is essential to be able to express ourselves and share with
others so that we know we are not alone experiencing the
same incidents. My team and I aim to link everyone together

betterment of our environment. We want to inspire students
not only at our school, but expand our initiative to reach a
larger audience.
