YMOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :)

Yesterday there was an event at St.Peters, which was the monthly YMORE event. A bunch of teens from across Massachusetts came together to, A)learn more about YMORE and their diesel campaign to, B) build relationships with other teens and C) have fun!
   The YMORE diesel campaign talks about how city areas have higher asthma rates verses suburban areas that have lower asthma rates. There were many testimonies and skits that depicted the asthma problem. I personally am not effected by having asthma, but hearing the testimonies and participating in skits really motivated me to help fight the cause. It's really unfair that West Roxbury (Caucasians)are not effected by this issue but Roxbury (African-American populated) is. In my opinion, this issue is deeper than West Roxbury/ Robury and there should be a solution.

To be continued...
