Seasons Greetings from the Project XIII Family!
Thanksgiving is a pivotal holiday that sparks the official holiday season and Project XIII, of the School of Business and Management dedicated its First Friday November Senior Showcase to the start of the fall season. However, personally, I dedicated this event to those battling and suffering from the drawsbacks of this diabetes, as it will have an impact on others holiday intake. As many know, diabetes is an increasing epidemic that impacts the lives of people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. This monthly series provides the Class of 2013 seniors and their parents with information regarding various organizations, senior activities, and most importantly, increases the awareness of various health and human resource topics, such as diabetes. For the 2012-2013 school year, I hold the position as Chair of Health and Human Resources, where I umbrella various health awareness issues such as, Diabetes, Breast Cancer Awareness, Red Ribbon Week, and Click-It-Or-Ticket, etc.; topics that have a drastic influence on our generation. During this specific "First Friday" event, my co-chair, Jaziah Masters, and I presented a Thanksgiving themed display which provided bypassers with information regarding diabetes awareness. This information included suitable diets for diabetics and information on the risks and symptoms of diabetes. Although it is important to make people of aware of the contributions that can be made to Townview through various organizations and clubs, it is just as, if not more important to increase student awareness of their risks of various diseases and illnesses, such as diabetes. Diabetes is typically found in those suffereing from obesity and in minorities, both of which are predominantly seen throughout the Townview community. 
AWESOME! You have done a fantastic job. I wanna thank both you and your colleagues for your profound efforts to bring awareness not only to our student body, but also the community as a whole. Acknowledging the problem at hand is only the beginning! Small things make a big difference!=)
