Safe School Teen Ambassadors
If given all the resources needed to create a safe school environment, what would these resources look like and what would you do with them?
Seeing Life Bloom in My Hands
I was inspired by the beauty of nature. This beauty appeared in my hands and it was blooming with life. To bring out the details in the photo, I used the black-and-white technique while editing the picture. I've learned that nature can't be that bad and can bring beautiful things if you stay open to its goodness. If given all the resources to create a safe school environment, I would request materials to create better landscapes within our school's courtyard to help clear our minds from stress.

The Busy City
All my life, this is where I grew up. I've always been inspired by the city's infrastructure. City infrastructure inspired me to think big when using my imagination. The technique I used was black-and-white photo editing when capturing this image. If given resources to create a safe school environment, I will request guest speakers from the city planning department to visit my school to teach us the latest innovations needed to expand our city to include safer hubs for students leaving campus to visit and learn within the city.

Constructing a Protective Barrier
If I had access to all the necessary resources to create a safe school environment, I would focus on the safety of the younger kids of our school district by constructing a better and more protective fence around our playground. With a more protective fence, it will shield the elementary students from different elements. An example of one of these elements would be unauthorized personnel wandering or peeping around the school premises. Another concern is that these fences are gateless.
