La Tristeza

Refran: "All those tear drops made a puddle of loneliness."

Card Description: none

Student Biography: My name is Jennifer Perez. I was born in Santa Maria California, and I come from a family of 3.  I enjoy helping others when I see them need some extra help and I'm a good listener. My plan after  high school is to go to a four-year college and I plan on majoring in Public Health. One of the things I  love to do is going shopping and taking pictures with my family.  My topic for my Loteria project is depression. The reason I had picked this topic is because I  struggle with this mental health. I also picked this topic because nobody really talks about this mental  health problem and a lot of people struggle with it. Depression causes you to be emotional half of the  time and when I had depression, I was sad and always crying. I just wanted to bring awareness to this  topic because people are ignorant and judge people with this mental health. I had dedicated my  drawing due to a personal story because when I was going through depression I had gone outside  while it was raining, and I was just alone at that time I felt so lonely. So, in the picture I had drawn an  eye with tears coming down and rain that made a puddle. My Refran said “All those tear drops made  a puddle of loneliness”. This is my message towards my Loteria Project I want people to understand  this awareness.
