my leadership positions at school.
Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1) Substance abuse: I believe that this issue is important because youth perceive the use of substances
to be much more common than it is, leading to an increase in its use.
2) Mental Health: Mental health is not taught in schools like math or English is. It is often ignored,
causing mental health disorders among youth.
3) Stress Management: As you make the transition from childhood to adulthood in your teenage years, there
are so many stressors that come into your life. Knowing how to handle them is an important skill that
is not taught.

Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? For me, I think it is extremely
important for students to have a voice in their community. The Youth Advisory Board gives me the perfect opportunity
to have a leadership position in the community and have the ability to create positive change.
Have you attended a meeting of the board or commission you are applying to or talked to anyone currently on the board?
Yes No
If yes, please share your experience:
Everyone who I have talked to about the Youth Advisory Board had said nothing but good things about it. My sister was on
the board and she really appreciated having a voice and she felt like she had the ability to create real and positive change.
List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this
board or commission:
I am trained to be a SART (Sexual Assault Resource Team) presenter and give awareness presentations around Fort Collins.
In terms of my skills, I work very well with other people and I can always bring a positive attitude to the table.
Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1) One main issue facing the youth of our society currently is the vaping epidemic. Vaping has drastically
spread throughout high schools and even middle schools across Fort Collins and even the United States.
This is an extremely harmful and dangerous thing, and it definitely needs to be addressed. In fact,
over 20 percent of high school students have vaped or still do. I think that this board can address
this issue by creating a presentation that can be given in schools or in places where students are there.
It can even be something as simple as creating posters for anti-vape and putting them around schools
or in the community. There needs to be some action taken on this issue within our community.
2) With the rapid spread and current popularity of social media, there has been a major problem of cyber-bullying.
Basically every single high school students have a phone, which most likely has social media applications
on it. Everyone can see what is going on in your life and they can spread rumors and other things to
harm a certain person. This has created a major sense of insecurity among high school students because
they feel as though they have to look "their best" at all times. This can be addressed by the board
by holding discussion sessions with high school students who have been affected by cyber-bullying or
who are just passionate about preventing it. This could help students talk about it and form a positive
community within Fort Collins.
3) An important issue facing teens today is stress. As students get into high school, there is a large
amount of work which is required. Also many students are getting more involved within their schools
as well as extracurricular activities. Students lives are just getting busier. Because of many different
things that students need to focus on, they get very stressed. This often causes them to under-perform
in many aspects of their lives because of the stress in their minds. One way the Fort Collins Youth
Advisory Board can address this issue is by just holding fun and positive team-building events which
would bring the community together.
Please specify any activities which might create a serious conflict of interest if you should be appointed to this board
or commission:
I do play soccer for my high school, but I would definitely be willing to miss a practice for a Board
meeting.
Have you ever been convicted of a crime (except for minor traffic offenses that resulted only in a fine)? Yes No
If yes, please explain in complete detail. State the nature and approximate date of the conviction, the sentence imposed,
whether the sentence has been completed, and any other information you consider to be relevant

Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1) I truly believe that diversity is an issue. In Fort Collins as a whole is not very diverse, because
of this I believe that as the board it needs to reach out and find those diverse voices. Through lifting
up voices I believe that the community can become a more welcoming place for everyone. I truly believe
that the only way to solve this issue is to reach out and find the diverse voices in our community.
2) I believe that the board is very closed off from the wider community. The only reason I am applying
to the board and know about the board is that my mom works for the city. I truly believe that the board
needs to be more in the eye of the youth. It is important to give the younger population a voice and
the only way to truly do that is to reach out to young people in Fort Collins.
3) I believe the third issue this board faces is taking ownership of its accomplishments. I think that
one way to attract more people to the board is by telling the young community how they can effect Fort
Collins. In my opinion, all three of the issues I see are just outreach issues. I think by talking
more about what the board is doing for the community it will have a greater impact.

Br iefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1) The issue that I am most passionate about is helping improve the mental health of teenagers. Often,
I think that this is an issue that is unnoticeable by the families of youth. Mental health could include
anything from depression to everyday stress. I believe that many teensmay not recognize that mental
health is just as important as physical health. Many times, we just swallow the problems and try to
forget about it. The Youth Advisory Board could help this issue by organizing educational events that
teaches teenagers about mental health and givesthem guidance on how to cope with different mental problems.
Another possibility is that the Youth Advisory Board could create a peer counseling program that targets
mental health.
2) An issue that I feel strongly about is financial stability. I have seen organizations that help out
the financially unstable adults in our community. However,I have never seen any program that helps
with the youth of those unstable families. Although I believe that food drives and similar events are
great, I think that that they do not make a lasting impact on students. To truly help teens and families
who are financially unstable, it is necessary to teach them life skills that could improve their financial
situation, including helping students create resumes, teaching them about job interviews, or even just
providing them with guidance on handling money. These skills would definitely be more beneficial in
the long run.
3) One particular concern that I am enthusiastic about is US politics in youth education. Many students
in school shape their political ideology around their parents' opinions, and often just whatever they
hear around them. I think that this is bad because as we transition into adulthood, it is necessary
for our generation to be educatedon politics. Althoughunavoidable,it is best for teens and youth
today to shape their beliefs around what they truly conceive as individuals rather than just conforming
to those aroundthem. A possibility to help this situation is to hold discussions that are open to any
youth where they learnabout what is happening in our country's current government and they can discuss
with peers who they may not typically talk to.

Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1) Suicide and Depression: For most of history, life expectancy has gone up due to technology and other
developments. For the first time in many years, life expectancy has gone down due to suicide in America.
Suicide is almost accepted as a part of life and society in America. Kids often joke about suicide and
the level of seriousness about the issue is not at all where it should be. Most people don't understand
how to deal with mental health issues, and it is frowned upon in society to seek help. Often people
don't realize that they are hiding deep emotional issues inside of them. I believe this board should
not just address this issue through distributing flyers and posters, but through educating youth on
warning signs, ways to communicate to others, and resources for this problem.
2) Financial Literacy among youth: While the education system in the United States mandates some sort of
"Personal Financial Literacy" class, most youth don't know much about interest, investing, balancing
budgets, credit cards, or saving. Based on research data by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
63% of Americans are financially illiterate. Telling kids to just, "go to college and get a degree that
is in demand" is not good enough. We need to improve Personal Financial Literacy classes and education
to give youth a thorough understanding of finances. This will in turn improve and alleviate other issues
that are sure to come up in any society.
3) Drug Addiction: Another issue that has helped life expectancy plummet is drug overdose. According to
Monitoring the Future(MTF), 17.6 percent of 8th graders, 32.3 percent of 10th graders, and 37.3 percent
of 12th graders have reported past-year vaping. To an outsider coming into an American high school,
it is plainly obvious how many kids are vaping or doing marijuana, and how many kids don't understand
its effects on a youth's brain. A juul cartridge contains more nicotine than an average pack of cigarettes.
Most kids will roll their eyes at drug education and mental health, yet the effects of nicotine and
addictive substances is clear on an adolescent brain. Drug education should include this data and sharing
real life stories from people who have had addictions.
