Montour High School, 12
I plan on furthering my education at university, where I will major in education. I will also continue to post content where I share my day-to-day life and the ups and downs of dealing with mental health and the struggle I have had with being bullied and the feeling of when the world seems so lonely that it will be ok. Posting these items online makes me feel very vulnerable to share but I love to share these videos because I know that if it only helps one person, it’s a person saved.

Tomayko, Aurelia
St. Joseph High School, 12
I plan to become a psychiatrist and to help the people like me who were eligible to get help but couldn’t afford it. This is important for to me because I have always struggled with mental health issues and would ask my parents for help. But they would always deny me it because they never believed that mental health issues really exist. They always told me I was acting the way I was for attention. So I have made it my goal to make mental health care more affordable in the future.
