World We imagine Pitch

 Background:

 
I grew up with a younger sister who spent hours on her phone scrolling through social media, and I knew early on how easily self-worth can become tied to likes, filters, and followers. She was beginning High school  when I started to notice the impact of comparing herself to influencers, feeling left out, and worrying about how she looked online.

Social media is powerful, but for many teens and young adults, it undermines mental health insidiously. Whether via comparison anxiety and FOMO, cyberbullying and validation addiction, the effects are real and growing. Schools often don't have the time and resources to manage the emotional toll of digital life, sadly.

The MindScroll Foundation:


The MindScroll Foundation is dedicated to helping young people achieve healthier relationships with social media. MindScroll empowers teens to take control of their screen time, set boundaries, and become mindful of the impact virtual spaces have on their mental health through school-based workshops, peer support groups, and online mindfulness resources.

Our mission is to make mental well being a part of the everyday online discussion while equipping students with emotional intelligence, digital resilience, and self-awareness to navigate social media without losing themselves in the scroll.

WHO YOU ARE MATTERS Blog post #1 Jan 17th, 2024

WHO YOU ARE MATTERS My name is Charles Robert Arnold IV; I come from a long line of hard-working men who evolved into successful Americans. Initially, I was born in Bellevue, WA, a city 25 minutes east of Seattle. My parents grew up locally in the Pacific Northwest region and attended college at Washington State University. Following college, they found jobs and met each other. Four years after meeting each other, I was born in Overlake Hospital. Throughout my childhood, I remained in the local Bellevue area. I grew up playing sports and attended a small private catholic high school before declaring to University of Southern California. The only reason I am in the position I am today is because I pride myself on being the hardest worker in the room, and the only way to achieve where I want to go is by continuing my desired work ethic. Although, I am not sure where I am going at this moment in my life. I am confident that the place I will end up in is somewhere sustainable and will make...

JOB DESCRIPTION BLOG POST

If someone were to approach me in the street and ask what I do for work, I would tell them I am a student aspiring to work in Real Estate Finance. People find interest in my dedication but whenever I say ‘real estate’ they figure I want to be a real estate agent. Although I do enjoy face to face interaction, I have gained commercial real estate experience in my previous job with 11 capital. My life once school is over will most likely consist of terribly long hours of work sitting at a desk crunching numbers. I also could see myself having a future in investment sales. I consider one of my strongest assets being communication. Leveraging my communication skills would excel me in the world of investment sales. Ultimately, I want to work as hard as I can to make as much money as possible and succeed.    As a CRE analyst, at 11Captial, I would be responsible for gathering financial and operational data about an organization, and providing assessments and analysis of the data.

Random Blog post #2

     For my next random blog post I wanted to express my feelings about how it feels to go home every summer and return to school. Yes, I am a fan of going home. I love spending time with my family, seeing my dog and old friends. But sometimes with that comes a little bit of anxiety. I have been thinking about this summer constantly and how it might actually be my last summer at home. Every time I go home the bubble of high school buddies shrinks, lots of peoples parents have moved and some to be honest I don't have much interest in seeing anymore. I know this is all part of growing up but it is very interesting how time had moved so fast. Professor Hansen did comment on me being a junior and not a second semester senior so I guess I can't complain too much, just something that has been bothering me.      On top of that, my job for this summer is in downtown Seattle. I grew up in a smaller city on the eastside called Sammamish. I am excited to work dow...
