The "I Am Sombody" Movement
I visited my second grade teacher's classrom, who now teaches third grade. I visited that day to teach the children about bullying and how it could affect others. The reason I chose such a young age is because I believe when you're taught at a young age, you take that information with you for life. During the outing, some of my Apollo friends, along with my friend Delia, joined me. Delia Santos is the creator of the "I Am My Child's Keeper" campaign . She helped me create the presentation for the children and in the end she recruited the children to her campaign.
