Mental Health in School
Me and my group in Creative Writing wrote a play about Mental Health Illnesses and other issues that often get in the way of students' school work that some teachers don't seem to listen to us about. I'm not creating actual character designs for these guys and uploading them to Toyhouse, but you should know that Sam is the character I wrote and relate to.

Author's Notes
Just a reminder that Sam is the character I wrote and relate to the most! She struggles from the same things that I do, and it takes a lot of courage for me to post this publicly.
