SCRIPT!
Everyone knew that one kid in elementary school who was always in the principles office. The one who threw rocks as recces for no apparent reason. The one who just didn't seem to get math like everyone else. Remember that kid? the one the teacher never called her pet? and the one who never really talked to anyone. Everyone just thought he was kind of weird. What if he was being abused at home? What if he had a mental disorder? You never know whats going on at home. Its time for teachers and students to ban together and finally understand whats going on. Home life can really affect your academic and social life. What if it was you? Ban Together for a friendlier Future!!!!

Triple Bottom Line!
People-The main purpose of my project is to promote awareness. The more people involved, the better! Although it may seem obvious that bad parenting can lead to academic failure in children, many think there is nothing that can be done about it. That's very incorrect. Understanding that these children misbehave in class and in social situations due to these bad parenting habits, will allow us to handle there situations accordingly without isolating them from their peers.
Environment- My project has no effect on our environment.
Economy- By better understanding the children who have upsetting home lives, we may be able to prevent them from feeling isolated and depressed in life. By doing so, we can decrease the amount of unmotivated and depressed workers.

My Capstone Project
My capstone project is all about how children are academically affected by their home lives. My main focus is to promote awareness and advocate better parenting and teaching through illustrating the effects that home life has on childhood success, and our future as a whole.
I was raised in a domestically violent and unsafe environment as a child. I was born by an addicted mother, and a manically depressed father, both whom had little to do with me in the early stages of my life. Their parenting was not persistent and as a child I found it very hard to trust anyone including my classmates or teachers at school. In Elementary school I became very violent and isolated myself from my peers. Because I was a handful, many teachers referred to me as a distraction and instead of trying to straighten me out, I was further isolated from other students and therefore developed an acute depression at a very young age. This directly affected my learning process, and self image, which both were distorted for a big portion of my childhood and adolescence.
I am now 18 years old and attending a very rigorous collegiate high school where I have found a voice and a passion that surpasses any pain I have experienced in my childhood. That passion is children. I have felt like I have been pulled in this direction and I cant stop until Ive made a difference. I know that somehow Ive managed to save myself from the bad parenting I endured as a child, and that many are not able to do so. Even if its not much, my project is a step in the direction to making parents and teachers aware of how much they can effect the rest of a child's life.
