Introduction
Welcome to Teens United for Change. My name is Arnell Lee and I am a senior at the Sport and Medical Sciences Academy (SMSA) in Hartford, CT. Upon enter our senior year we were informed that in order to graduate, we were expected to create a project that not only demonstrates our ability of being independent but our ability to succeed in a single idea of something that reflected who each of us are as an individual.
For my capstone project, I chose a topic that was very personal to me. Three months into my first year at SMSA, I experienced something that no family should have to go through, Someone dear to me had committed suicide due to the continuous taunting and harassment from his classmates every day. I have never faced a harder day in my life then the day of his funeral.
My Capstone project’s main goal is to raise awareness on this raising epidemic that we are not only facing as a country but globally. I chose to focus on making three sets of Public Service announcements along with a guided bonding activity that allows the students that I interact with to really learn about each other ending in a pledge to stand up against bullies. To me this is more than just a project, it’s keeping someone’s memory alive and making sure than something like that will never happens again.
Enjoy your journey on my site and be sure to spread awareness.
Thank you.

My mission is to empower and encourage the youth of today to ensure a brighter tomorrow through instilling generosity, inspiring courage, and igniting a passion for the prosperity of humanity for generations to come with Music Media Technology and Communication. For me this would involve me teaching kids that you can turn your passion into a career. I want to let students know that as long as you keep dreaming anything can happens. You hold the key to your future and your voice matters more than anything.
