The CCC campaign is very compelling because it offers a bunch of students from around the world to be able to express themselves easily and be able to be a part of the voice in Youth Mental Health awareness. A thing that is important about the CCC campaign is that it doesn't focus on the "technical" quality of the art that the students are submitting, it focuses on the passion and emotion behind it. In other words, the CCC campaign is so great because anyone can participate and help spread awareness about youth mental health.

For the #CreateConnectCare campaign, I involved people at my school by getting permission to hangup flyers as well as getting a teacher to let me use their classroom during lunch to have a workshop where anyone could come in and draw and make a submission for #CreateConnectCare. I advertised this event to people on instagram as well as #CreateConnectCare as a whole, for people on instagram that know me but don't go to my school. I designed original flyers and posters for all of this. I also reached out to many other people asking if they could promote #CreateConnectCare such as the director of the visual arts conservatory at my school and even my friend's mom who does a lot of work for youth mental health awareness. I did my best to advertise the campaign as something simple and something that didn't have to take a lot of artistic skill and time but rather creativity and a strong voice towards youth mental health awareness and self care.

I wanted there to be more uplifting messages for teenagers to hear especially on places like social media. I feel like there is a lot of great Mental Health Awareness on social media, but a lot of it is very negative and points out problems with teenager's mental health without offering solutions. My project called "Worry Not" is made to spread positivity through as much of social media as possible to make teenagers feel better about themselves and try not to stress and worry as much.

I spent a lot of time coming up with ideas and sending the messages I wanted to send through my project which has made me proud to be able to spread these voices into the world as I don't see enough messages like this on social media already. My project hasn't gained too much attention but I hope to continue working on it so I can change that. I'm at 5 posts but I want to post weekly. I also want to spread the project to other platforms that isn't just instagram.

I'm proud of the skills that I learned such as getting used to reaching out to various people to propose ideas despite the fact that it can be nerve-wracking or at least was for me before I started doing it. In general, I had to learn to put myself out there to be able to effectively help contribute to the #CreateConnectCare campaign as well as my community outreach project because I did so much advertising for it. I'm proud that I got to set up a whole event at my school and get 20+ submissions for the #CreateConnectCare campaign. I'm proud of this because I had never lead an event like that before and I also had to set up the event pretty much from scratch, having to design my own flyers and reach out to people myself without any prior plans or discussions.
