My Project

When I was in high school a teacher had me carry around an egg and treated it like it was my baby. This taught me responsibility and gave me experience that helped me become a good mom as well as a supportive teacher. However, I do not think eggs or bags of flour would work with students in this day and age. I feel they do not have the same imagination and need to connect with something more realistic.

I feel that handing them a doll baby that they can literally wash down, change, and feed would gain them more experience with life as an adult.

High school students are always thinking about relationships but never what could happen from those relationships; pregnancy. I have been trying to find a way to guide them without there being a mess in the school hallways. I feel using these dolls and diapers would give them the step to do that.

There are a lot of young adults in the world that do not know how to care for their young children, but they have them. I am asking that I get help in guiding them through the step of a better experience and to gain more maturity with my support.
