The Value of Study

On Why the Study of History Is Still Important

"...if there is something specific to be covered people must know where it stems from. "
- Kiara Smith



Think Outside the Stigma

On Eliminating Medical Discrimination and Stigma Against People Diagnosed With Mental Illnesses:

"...[become] sufficiently educated on mental illness and how serious they are. People who act oblivious or do not believe in mental illnesses are usually the people who have not dealt with them hands on."

How Kiara Studies

"To study, I normally go to my room, set my materials down on my desk, and start typing or writing. The best way for me to study is in complete silence where I let my mind do the thinking and my hands do the typing/ writing. Having a clear mind, helps my ideas flow with no pressure."

"...I believe any thought when studying is something that should be considered; even if its self-doubt statements / questions."


Select Quotes:

On Eliminating Medical Discrimination and Stigma Against People Diagnosed With Mental Illnesses:

"...participate in mental illness events "


On Why the Study of History Is Still Important

"...so that horrific things don't repeat themselves. "


"...History does shape the world and different concepts by presenting the difficult questions. "
