Reflection: Cassidy Staples
Our High School is not a place where mental health thrives, and unfortunately I can see how it affects my classmates every day. Despite suffering students, Ridge administrators were not changing a single thing. A simple “I’m here to help” is not enough. Project Citizen gave Honors Gov and Econ students a voice, and a chance to make a change. I’ve learned so much about teamwork, and after months of hard work, what it takes to persuade people and get the support needed. I have always been an activist, and as this is a topic I feel very passionate about, I was really excited about where it could take us. Every single member of our group was excited and passionate about this project, and that energy will hopefully drive us to success.
