About Project H.E.A.L.(Helping Everbody Accept Life)
9 11 2008I am a 6th grade student at Crockett Middle School in Paris,TX. I’m doing a FPS (Future Problem Solving) project that will help kids cope with death or loss of a loved parent, friend, or even a pet. I am going to start a support group for children with that need. I started this project because, at the age of 8 I lost my Grandfather, who was my sole father figure, due to galbladder and eye cancer. When I first got the news I didn’t beleive it, until I saw everybody crying. So as normal I blamed myself that he died because of me. Later I looked for a support group for children, but all that I found was a counseler at my school. The only problem with being counseled at the school was that nobody understood how I felt. That’s pretty much why I started this project.
Great Idea!!!
I think this is a excellent idea! Kudos to Matthew
I am so proud of you. I can see an improvement with you dealing with the loss of Grandpa. It makes me proud to see you help other in their time of needs. Keep up the good work and follow your heart and dreams. Remember Grandpa is always watching you. I Love you, Mom
I think this is a really good project!!!! Like Micheal said,GREAT idea!
i think your project is great! you have helped a lot of people including me! my friends even tell me that my attitude is much better since i’ve started coming. you are helping a lot of people accept their loss of a loved one. i lost my grandma 2 years ago, we were really close. I understand i will always miss her but i feel better with the understanding that you (matthew) have given me. thank you so much! anna
