Kiera Schaefer (7th grade, Mountain View Middle School)

Poem "Exploring many forms of literary expression has become a delightful hobby. Since writing poetry all day is not possible, I have balanced my life with gymnastics, playing harp, ice skating, and photography. Recently through my writing I have embarked on a journey to erase the stigma of mental illness to create hope. The pandemic is changing lives and makes crushing impacts on our community. I chose to write about the pandemic and how it has changed our mental health."

"Awareness Level"

Song "The reason why I felt like I wanted to write this song is because I do suffer from anxiety and insomnia but I also see a lot of people not taking mental health seriously. And I thought that, through this song, I could help them take it seriously. Because I see Mental Health as a serious thing."
