Hey dudsons,

Here's a drawing that I finished today of a dog!

Anyways, today in first block, I watched this really inspiring and motivating presentation about mental illness and the stigma around it.  I know that I need to be strong too so I can prevent myself from contracting those illnesses, because the truth is, depression, anxiety, etc. are much worse then breaking a leg.  The pain goes further than just your bone or your body; it pierces through your heart and controls your brain from being you.  So I think it's really important and awesome that these people had a chance to present at our school to remind other youth that mental illness is real and we have to learn to not suffer in silence, and instead be strong and ask for help.
