I became part of my school senate last year. I had recently done a final project for my abnormal psychology class on teen anxiety and depression. I surveyed the school and realized what a huge issue this was at our school. I decided to schedule a meeting with some school administrators to discuss how the school could better support student mental health. They took my advice into consideration and implemented many of my suggestions. That meeting helped me realize the change I could make in my school community, so I decided to run for the school senate.
