The project allows young women of color to come together learn about HIV/AIDS, its impact on the community, and other sexual reproductive health issues, and then educate the community on the learned informaion through workshops, community forums, school visitations, and community events. The objective is to raise the awareness first in the immediate community, then in the state, and hopefully throughout the nation. HIV infects 40,000 people each year and there are approximately over 1 million infected with the virus in the United States alone.

Encourage students not to drop school because its really important and without it you'll never keep up with society. For example, if you want to buy the brand name clothing, you'll have to buy less of one (Example: a cheaper living and also a cheaper car too). If you don't want this to happen to you, get some kind of education (Examples: A two year degree or even a certification on whatever u like) something better than nothing.

Global Warming
Global Warming is something I am very passionate about. I have always loved and cared about our environment and the planet we live on. I feel that if our society does not start to make a difference in the everyday decisions we are making then our grandchildren, and their kids will be greatly impacted by our faults. Our shortcomings and lack of knowledge about our environment and the pollutants we are omitting into the atmosphere is going to cause future people on our planet to suffer greatly. Right now I am in the middle of creating a club in our school called GWAC.

The [i] Phoenix [/i] is an independent news magazine for students at Pomperaug High School in Southbury, Connecticut. The [i] Phoenix [/i] was originally aimed at a readership of high school students, but subscribers now include a healthy dose of parents and teachers as well.
The [i] Phoenix [/i] began when I saw that something important was missing from Pomperaug.

An important method to increase awareness is to advertise at High Schools. This would be effective because the advertisement directly targets the driving teenage group. An assembly called Steps to a Smart Driver should be held once a year in local high schools. The assembly should comprise a power point of the steps and a video called “Victims of Drunk and reckless Driving”.

For my idea i would like to create bumper stickers that say something like:
if you can read this you're too close!
(that will be in small letters, so only the people who are actually too close can read it.)
A safe distance is always a car length behind.
That way not only does the driver reading the bumper sticker know that he is too close he also now knows the safe distance to drive and/or drive behind another car in order to help prevent bumper to bumper accidents, that can be easily prevented.
My friend is my inspiration for this idea.
