Hello, I am Connor Jones. I am a part of HOSA, the tennis team, the National Honor Society, the Riley Dance Marathon, and the Student Government at Plainfield High School. Some things that I have helped with outside of school include, volunteering at the Plainfield Youth Assistance Program, and some of the Elementry Schools, and also worked with the Avon Chamber of Commerce organization. As you may know, we write most of everything in the first person. You must get to know each of us. Some of the hobbies that I do to overall create a healthier and happier lifestyle include playing with my dogs, going to the gym, and hanging out with my friends and family. If alone I usually find myself cleaning or just doing something to calm me down. I like to be productive, so this lifestyle may not work for everyone. With this social media campaign, I usually make posts and constantly look at statistics to navigate the direction we want to take. We hope you not only get to know the page but also get to know us for who we are.

Hello, I am Manroop Cheema. I am a part of HOSA, the National Honor Society, the Riley Dance Marathon, the Key Club, and DECA at Plainfield High School. Outside of school, I have mentored and guided children of all ages toward success by tutoring them academically on their language and mathematics homework, I have helped out at my local church by preparing and serving customary food, and I have worked at different locations to gain job experience. Some of the things that I do in my life that make me happier include: swimming in my backyard on a nice hot day, playing basketball with others, and overall spending as much time as I can with my friends and Family. I hope that our mental health social media campaign assists all those who need guidance through their mental health struggles. Here are some words that I hope you take to heart: Your character I defined not only by your success and accomplishments but also by how you deal with hardships and setbacks; You are constantly evolving, learning, and growing, fueled by your desire for self-improvement.
About us
About us
Since now you have gotten to know both of us it is important to understand how our campaign functions/ how we met. We met freshman year and we both had similar ideas on mental health. We believed from that time that mental health wasn't talked about. There was a stigma around it, and we wanted to take action. We didn't realize until we joined HOSA that there was an opportunity to make a difference within our community. So anyone, especially you, if you want something, can go out and make a change. With this, we learned about the mental health campaign. We realized how intimidating the process would have been considering neither of us had truly done a campaign this big as well as only having a team of two people. I think overall we both have a new understanding of mental health in a variety of age levels and genders. Overall the lesson is that if you believe you can do it, you really can. Initially, I never knew how a campaign could be, so never be scared.

What led to choosing the particular Advisor.
What led to choosing the particular Advisor.
As one may notice I have a similar last name with the mental health Advisor. By no means does this invalidate the campaign or put into question anything we have done. The way that we came to this decision is that we felt that we could understand and identify certain issues within the high school but as the grow of social media in the youth I wanted to learn more about mental health issues from an elementary standpoint. Now many wonder why would I not look at middle school. I wanted to understand certain issues that build up in adolescence to understand where certain factors come from. From this information from Mrs. Jones, we grew to understand family dynamics, bullying, and also a sense of self-insecurity or feeling of holding in emotions. We used this information to hit impactful issues that people may have felt in the past or have been feeling for a long time to make the campaign more impactful. Other than she was a great outsource of information in the community. The amount of time we were together allowed not only formal meetings between us about what we have and plan to be doing but also casual conversations about issues she saw in her school from day to day.
