Target Population: SFS students
The reason we chose SFS students as our target population is because being at this teenage age can be really tough sometimes and the simple things are really helpful to people like us. School is stressing us out, puberty is making us have mixed feelings and emotions, and we just need someone to tell us that it’s going to be fine. Sometimes the tiny things, like helping someone if they dropped their books, or just asking how they’re doing can make their day a whole lot better, and being kind and altruistic towards people at this age is definitely something we all wanted to try. We wanted to see and experience how the different SFS students would react to our notes we left on their lockers; see if it made them happy or didn’t have an affect at all. From what we saw, the notes had a positive effect on most people, which felt great to know that we had given someone something they could smile about. Maybe they were stressing about a test they had or homework they forgot, and that note made them forget all that even for a small second.
