ENCOURAGING YOUNG CITIZENS TO
In April, Joe Scott, the Supervisor of Elections for Broward County, conducted a month-long voter registration campaign in high schools across the county. Officials from the Elections Office visited each high school and interacted with students in their classrooms, encouraging them to register to vote. During history, government, and civics classes, students were given forms and instructions on how to complete them correctly.
Although many students had already registered via the state of Florida’s driver’s license voter registration program, others took advantage of the opportunity to participate in future elections.

In a video released on Browardvotes.com, Scott said, “Helping young citizens vote for the first time is the most gratifying part of my job. Here in Florida, your sixteenth birthday is a significant milestone, not because you can obtain your driver’s license, but because you can register to vote.” While the students who registered won't be able to vote until they turn 18, they will be automatically added to the voter register if they participated in the drive. Many of the students received a souvenir water bottle with the @browardvotes emblem.
“I was thrilled,” said Stoneman Douglas junior Jo. “I can't wait to vote in my first election when I turn 18. Hashtag adulting!”
Scott emphasized that becoming an active voter would have an impact on who our government leaders are at every level, from local to national. "I'll see you at the polls," he said.

Know Your Body. Know Your

Mental health is an integral part of our overall well-being. It refers to our emotional, psychological, and social well-being and influences how we think, feel, and act. Good mental health allows us to lead a happy and fulfilling life, while poor mental health can harm our body, appearance, enjoyment of life, work, and relationships.
Here are some of the personality traits that are associated with good mental health: Positive self-esteem means that you have a positive self-image and high self-esteem. You feel confident about yourself and your abilities and can recognize your strengths and weaknesses.
Emotional resilience allows you to cope with life's challenges and bounce back from setbacks. You can regulate your emotions, manage stress effectively, and maintain a positive outlook.
Healthy relationships are part of your life that lead to healthy and fulfilling relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. You can communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and maintain meaningful connections with others.
Productivity implies that you function effectively in your daily life. You can focus on tasks, make decisions, and be creative and innovative.
Enjoyment of life is associated with a sense of purpose and joy. You can engage in activities that you are fulfilling, pursue your interests, hobbies, and sports, and feel satisfied with your achievements.
It’s important to note that mental health is not static; everyone has unique mental health needs. It’s common for people to underestimate the impact underlying mental health issues, such as anxiety, can have on their overall well-being. Sometimes, people may not even be aware that they are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges holding them back.
