Statement of Intent

1. My goal of this project is to provide a safe environment for new moms and their child. The pregnancy rate amongst teenagers has been increasing and so has dropout rates. The center that will be created will help decrease the dropout rates amongst the teen moms, and will allow the moms to learn how to provide good a good shelter for their child.

2. This project is important and should be cared about by the community because the center could end up being a perfect place for a family member or friend to go to. You never know when something like this could happen to someone you know, and this could be what helps your loved one cope with their stressful situation.

3. I am pursuing a career in the film and/ or advertising industry. This is connected to the project because I plan on filming a commercial advertising what the center is all about and designing posters that will eventually help advertise the center to the community.

4. My project gives back to society by helping teenage moms that are not very fortunate and can not provide everything that a baby may need. It will also help out by reducing the high school dropout rates. The center will help by providing an alternative to adoption and abortion for teens that believe that they can not handle all the stress on their own.

5. The center will be able to affect people, economics, and the environment in all different ways. First of all, it will affect the teen mom and her family by giving her a helping hand that is willing to assist her in everything she needs to do to make a home for her child. Second, it will help the country's economic problems because if there was not a center like this, the teen moms may have to go on welfare and other financial aides to make sure the baby is taken care of. All of these financial aides are paid for by tax payers, and will add more burdens to other families that are struggling as well. Finally, it will also be beneficial to the environment because the center will be constructed with green ideas in mind. We will be strong supporters of ideas such as recycling and reusing to make sure the environment will not be punished because of my project.
