PRIYANKA

My name is Priyanka. I am a sophomore at a high school in Texas. I first learned about this project through my old friend. We were friends in elementary school and in 7th grade. He had told me about his brother Dylan, and I was so moved by his story. I am still currently friends with his cousin and I always tried to support this organization and her by getting bracelets and stickers from the website even after I moved from Iowa to Texas. I also joined my school’s Hope Squad after moving. Recently, just 4 days ago, a girl at my school passed away due to suicide. I had seen her multiple times, including just a week before her passing. I remember how dark everything felt, and I didn’t know what to do to help people. I remembered how I still wear the wristband I got when I was in Iowa, and I thought to repost some IGYSP Instagram posts. The past few days, I still just wanted to help more, and I thought that if I got more involved in this organization, it would help me as well. That’s why I decided to become an IGYSP ambassador, and I am really looking forward to it.
