My name is Stacia, I am 15 years old and a sophomore at Thunder Mountain High School. I have lived in Juneau for most of my life.
Being a teenager in today’s society can be very hard. Well, being anyone in today’s society can be hard. I have noticed a lot during my high school and middle school careers. I have witnessed a lot from other students that is unkind, and I am not always so kind myself.
I believe that being on the 2017 Year of Kindness steering committee, I cannot only help myself become kinder, but also help the rest of Juneau as well. I think that by bringing kindness to Juneau we can create a better community than Juneau already is. I also believe that with a kinder community, we can encourage other communities around the world to do the same.
With pairing up with the international organization “Random Acts” I hope that our kindness campaign will be successful, and that we will come together as a community to make Juneau better, kinder place.
