One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

Amelia Kovalenko (Ft. Katsy Morrow)

 

Hi! I’m Amelia Kovalenko. I am an i2 scholar and this is my first blog post. I am working on my i2 project with a fellow peer, Katsy Morrow.

Our project, titled One Step Forward, Two Steps Back, is a documentary on the different stress factors and environments that influence teenagers (ages 12 – 18) mental health. The purpose of this project is to educate teens on how their daily actions and environments can affect their mental health, but also to educate the adults in the teenagers lives and how their actions and reactions can also affect teens mental health.

So far, Katsy and I have gotten a general/main idea about our project and have clear understanding of what we want to do and focus on. We have finished our check-in and worked on our shark tank presentation for the shark tank in November.

Next, we have to finish and film our shark tank presentation and we also have to have a teacher review our project. A goal we want to work on throughout the month is to research more about our topic and get a detailed understanding of it.
