Spreading Awareness and Showing Kindness
by Skylar Hurwitz
Mental health is something that is really important to me; and, I think it is an extremely important topic to spread awareness about, to help people build an understanding of mental health, what it is, and how to help someone who is struggling. My goal is to bring more positivity and kindness to people's lives and make them feel less alone. I want to spread positivity because you never know what someone is going through or may be struggling with. Simply one act of kindness can go a long way and just one kind word can have more of an impact on someone than you may think. Lots of students struggle with mental health while in school and because of that I want to make our school a more positive place.
It is important to spread positivity, especially throughout school. I created Monthly Motivation to bring a little bit more positivity to peoples' days. It's important to spread awareness about students' mental health and offer opportunities and strategies to help them cope with their mental health. One small act of kindness can have a huge positive impact on someone. There’s a common saying, “What goes around comes around.” This saying relates to positivity because it shows that if you spread kindness then kindness will return back to you. The things you do impact others so wouldn't you want to do something that has a positive impact rather than negative?
