2024

Hi! I was born and raised in San Francisco.

I enjoy going on walks, drawing, and watching movies! I have 2 siblings, an older sister, and a younger brother. My older graduated from SHC in 2017. We all enjoy learning about science and history. Personally, astronomy is my favorite subject to study. I hope to major in astronomy or aerospace engineering in college. I am in engineering club, Latinx club, and Spanish club at school because I am Mexican. After that, I’d like to work for NASA or AURA. Fun fact, I can speak both English and Spanish fluently.

I was Valedictorian of my 8th-grade class and received a Literature Achievement Award. I also got to read my poem on the radio once! Apart from that, I am a really good cook! Thank you for taking the time to check out my first i2 project. I appreciate it!

The Mental Central (V1)

Angeline, Emma, Henry, and Katia have noticed their peers or even themselves have experienced the struggles of keeping up with their mental health; whether it be due to stress in school, pressure in sports, or even just anxiety about day-to-day experiences. They found that there weren’t many ways to express this feeling within themselves in a healthy way because of the lack of outlets. Although there are definitely adults that are more then happy to assist teenagers that go to them for help, there aren’t many teens that are open to having a conversation with an adult. This leaves teens going to their friends who may give them comfort, but they don’t know how to fully help. The lack of outlets for teens that experience mental health issues makes it more difficult to seek help and get better. When they researched the amount of teens that have mental illness they were not surprised to find that about 1 in 5 teens are suffering with mental illness. With the expertise of those who have information of any mental illnesses and a community that is welcoming and willing to learn, we want to create a safe place where teens can go to educate themselves, find resources, and ask questions.
