I want to start a program for kids who have low self-esteem because of their weight problems. I recently lost 50 pounds and it was hard for me to adjust to the comments of friends, family and peers. All of the sudden people start being really nice to you and giving extra attention; it becomes difficult to see who in your life is real and has loved you heavy or light. This program will be similar to those of weight loss programs, except that it will be the after-care program because this is what clinics fail to provide. We will help support each other to find self-value and self-worth in a society that only gives the good-looking and beautiful attention. We will learn to cope with the new found friends and the postivie feedback and sometimes negative feedback from those around us. This project will begin soon, it will be targeted towards teens, heavy or light, aneroxic or obess, we will join as a community to hold each other accountable. Some days we will take trips that we involve activity and other days we can visit hospitals with obess patients to help give them encouragement. Lose don't get lost: means don't lose who you are because you lost the weight!

The money will go towards women who cannot afford proper treatment and prevention. The course will be a 3 mile walk (3 laps around our whole highschool). The cost will be $10 per entry, and there will be AMAZING raffles, a bake sale, a change collection bucket where we will weigh the change and ask people to bring in their loose change to help save lives.

The club at our school, W.A.R.R, (Wantagh Animal Rights & Recycling) is a wonderful club to join at our school, and its very helpful to the community. Every meeting we do something helpful to our enviornment. So far in this year, we have supplied every classroom with recycling bins, and have started a recycling program. We have also done trail cleanups to clean the litter scattered by our school and its surrounding area. Another thing our club has done was sell T-shirts to help save the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. For every 10 shirts we sold, we saved an acre. We are preparing to fill the year with wonderful recycling joy!!!!! With the $500 that we are hoping to win, we plan on promoting our recycling program even more. Our funds are limited, and this would help our school a lot. We hope that you pick our school!!!!!!!!!!

This project will work in conjunction with an afterschool program, Kidz Fit4Life that caters to middle school students in order to get them physically active and to take care of their bodies.

Stress is the condition in which a person is pressured or emotionally or physically strained. these days, people are always stressed. According to studies, stress causes a shorter life span. Stress also causes wrinkles on the face, fatigue, headaches, digestive problems, and even rashes on the skin. It makes people more prone to heart diseases, and it is a factor that enables people to carry out unhealthy habits such as smoking, drinkng, etc. The good thing about my project is, it helps people battle with stress. To overcome this condition, one only has to engage in some activity that makes them happy. It may be as simple as watching a favorite video or listening to soothing music, or it maybe shopping. When one is stressed, he or she might also want to let the tension out. He can do physical things like jump on a trampoline, or squeeze a stress ball or even scream out loud. These activities usually hapy de-stress. Instead of engaging in health-threatening activities (smoking, drinking), a stressed person could take a break and go explore the outdoors. Nature can be a stress reliever for city dwellers. The air is fresh and clean, there is no noise pollution and there are many new things to reflect on peacefully. I think that people should destress once in a while to help them live healthier lives. After all, life is too short to throw it away.

In Milledgeville Georgia, there is an afterschool program that targets thirty-five youth who are considered 'at risk' for engaging in risky behavior. Organized by GCSU, a program called High Achievers is a Carrera Model afterschool program whose main goal is to curve teen pregnancy. The program is a unique, highly-structured youth development program that see these 'at risk' students as 'at promise' instead. It is designed to help promising young people reach their full potential and avoid the pitfalls of pregnancy, especially teen pregnancy. The program incorporates education, job club, creative self-expression, lifetime individual sports, family life and sex education, medical and dental assistance and mental health assistance. To enrich what High Achievers provides the youth with, CHANGE ( Community, Health, Awareness, Nutrition, Growth, Education) will bring together thre students for a six week program in which they will learn about the pitfalls of an unhealthy lifestyle. The sixth week, the students will hold a community wide Do Something Good for You Walk-A-Thon.

To make the community more healthy I would try and raise money and provide the money to people that can't afford gym memberships but still want to get in shape.
The problem with most people isn't that they don't want to get in shape it's that they are unable to afford the expensive memberships. If people want others in their community to not be overweight and become healthy I feel this would be a good way to provide money for them.
