Grade 12
Theatre Academy
Girls Build LA helps me explore different ways of integrating my peers in a community that promotes self-awareness. Often times people are embarrassed of sharing their vulnerable feelings because it's unusual to be candid about personal challenges. Concealing those experiences prevents others from understanding how to be supportive. My goal is to maintain a balance in my life by practicing mindfulness and promoting it to help others reduce stress.
Mindful Tip: When I get stressed I remember that it is ok to take a break and ask for help, prioritize things by level of importance to get more things done and view my accomplishments to remind myself of my ability to take control of my time.
