Yea…umm this is a huge deal!!!!! Everyone want the perfect body, even I do. People are always talking about goal on how to perfect their body image. I even catch myself wish to have “this” or look like “that”. We see celebrities and think of them sitting on any star in the galaxy that they choose. I think what is most important is your health. I’m talking about physical and mental health. Physical as in eating the right foods, watching what you consume, and not sit on a large sofa with junk food in front of you all day. When i mean mental, i mean, self esteem, to be happy with yourself, and better yourself for the right reasons. There are programs that go around just to help people find their true selves. pull out the best of them and learn to accept who they are. I would love to be apart of these services to help people and teach them what i had to teach myself! <3 This is an important cause to me because i know almost everyone goes into drastic measures to change their body, even i struggle with it. It’s human. 
Cancer. It’s all we here about. Everyone seems to be somehow affected with it and doctors are always striving for a cure. We need help. I’ve seen friends and family go through the worse times dealing with this problem. I want to help. Donating any amount of money is a good first step.

Wow Carissa. The whole body image posting is very powerful. Girls and boys alike have problems with their body image and that program sounds really awesome in helping them accept who they are. I really like how you refered to celebrities as “sitting on any star in the galaxy that they choose.” Out of your two topics, you sound very passionate about this one and you should run with it. Lord knows we need something down here to help students, or people in general, with accepting themselves. Awesome.

Wow Paris! HAHA This project sounds really cool:) You are so so right that many people struggle with their body image…i really do. Its something that a lot of us teens have in common and a project about it would be a huge success!.
The cancer idea is really cool too because many people deal with it not really physically but they have to go through it in their families too. I went through tests and surgeries for skin cancer and it had huge affects on me and my family…scary stuff! But both of these ideas are really cool…keep up the good work mi freench seesta! <3

I agree with your idea’s 100%! We are all wrapped up in how we look and it shouldn’t be like that. I def think that we could all use some of that help! As for cancer…it is a huge deal and we all can do our part to help
. ….Good work

Body Image. This would be perfect for you because you can lead through example. You DON’T try to be anyone you aren’t, and you love to have fun in life which is a natural high in itself. You are a very fit person, and we all can learn a lot from you. This seems like a very passionate subject for you and I believe you could do the project justice through this!

I like where you are going with your action plan. You picked something that almost everyone struggles with, so your plan will have a bag impact. So are you going to make a survey or something to like help people see where their problems lie when they judge themselves to much? I think that would be cool. I like your idea and hope it works out keta
