" Miss Lavender, would you like to go next?" my teacher, Mrs. Honey asks me.


" Um, sure."

I get up and go to the front of the room. At the beginning of the semester we were given a project that would count for a huge chunk of our grade. Our project was to change people's mind on a certain topic. For my topic I choose mental Illness.


" Good morning class. For those of you who don't know me my name is Evelyn Lavender and Mental Illnesses is the topic of my project."


" What made you choose this certain topic?" Mrs. Honey questions.


" O-oh, that's sorta personal."


" You may continue."


" For the past five months I've been going to Briarcliff Manor."


Gasps fill the room.


" Everyone knows Briarcliff Manor as the place for nuts, but every single patient there is the same as us. Human. Just because they have some illness that doesn't make them any less human. Here is my project ' We Are More Than The Doctor's Paper' that included stories of ten patients at Briarcliff Manor and my experiences at the Manor."
