The Event that Changed My Life Forever By Andrea Garza

When I was diagnosed with food allergies as a 7th grader, my whole life changed within minutes. The list of allergies included wheat, gluten, milk, eggs, corn, soy, peanuts, shellfish...and the list goes on. Discovering that all of my favorite foods would be removed from my diet left me saddened, especially after experiencing the troubles of the previous year when my younger sister had an allergy list similar to mine.

City Park Clean Up

It is extremely important to keep our environment clean and sanitary. My project involves cleaning up the playgrounds in the McHenry county area. Groups of volunteers would meet at one of the parks on a Saturday morning, ready to work. The jobs would include picking up garbage, taking out the trash and refilling the bags, washing the playground itself, and anything else. Afterwards, everyone would eat lunch together. Each person, family, or group of students would bring a dish of their choice and share it with everyone. This day would be fun and exciting.

The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota is home to thousands of Lakota Indian people. Unfortunately, it is also home to a huge drug problem that effects everyone. Children and adults alike die from drug related causes everyday. I am apart of a small group of people here in Pine Ridge who are working towards bringing something positive to the reservation. The way that we hope to do this is through music. We would like support in putting on a drug awareness concert- free and open to everyone. We are planning to have positive messages, music, art and free food.

Pet Food Drive

We will hold several tag days outside of local vendors, asking people to donate pet food, pet toys, or anything else "pet-related," so that we can donate the items to our local Humane Shelter. Our main goal will be pet food. A lot of the dogs and cats have lack of a decent meal, with our donation, we are hoping to have no scarcity in their bowls at supper time. However, toys will also be a focus. The animals love something to play around with or even just have something soft to cuddle up with.

My name is Skye Rios and I am a multi-cultural low income youth. I, along with many friends, lobbied city council for months to get a much needed central space for teens to spend time, study, and offer each other support in reaching our life goals. The city provided us with the small space, bathroom and free utilities that we call Nuestro Lugar (Our Place).
