Aleah Graham, age 13, Writes about her Experience with Project AWARE

Being a part of Project AWARE has given me a sense of independence and self-pride.

As co-creator of Project AWARE’s latest film, I can definitely say that Filming ‘Influenced’ was one of the greatest experiences of my life! There’s nothing like a positive group to guarantee an impressive outcome of a project! I am so grateful for the amount of work and creativity that everyone put into the movie, it has surely made everyone proud! The week of the film-shoot was so inspiring, positive, and fun. Influenced was a great success and it could not have been what it is without the help of everyone! I am so excited to go to Caribou for a screening of ‘Influenced’ and I think that it will have a strong impact of the community!

The Project AWARE players is another of my great accomplishments! I remember wanting so badly to be part of the Players that, when I graduated into the group as one of the youngest members, I was so proud. The Players haven’t let me down, either. I have had so much fun at all of the presentations and I have met so many wonderful people. I am so excited to go to Caribou for the screening of ‘Influenced’ and I think that it will have a strong impact of the community!

 It is interesting to be one of the youngest people so actively involved with Project AWARE. But as hard as it can be, I feel lucky to be able to learn from the older Players.

Doing presentations definitely makes me feel empowered. The skits we do impact so many people, the facts we give inform adults of what kids are really doing, and the help we dish out makes people feel a lot less hopeless. I am so glad to be able to help the community in such an important way. So all I have to say is; thank you Project AWARE and Mom and Dad for helping me to be part of such a great group of people.
