Capstone Project Statement of Intent:

The goal of my capstone project is to help make sex education classes mandatory towards the high school graduation curriculum. Sex education classes are important for high school teenagers, because the United Sates alone has the highest teen pregnancy rates amongst developed nations. 

 Why should you care about teen pregnancy?
As a nation and society it is our responsibility to educate the future generation and to set a healthy foundation for them. Whilst the U.S.A has the highest pregnancy rates, it ranks number 36 amongst countries with the highest education ( That's embarrassing!). We should care because tax money is the one that is used to help pay for the expenses associated with teen abortions, pregnancies, and birth. 

As for my career, I have not yet decided what I want to be... Hey don't blame me....I have an ORANGE personality. 

My project gives back to society, in that if successful it will help lower teen pregnancy rates on a national level.

The Richland triple bottom line is environmental, social, and economic. My project will mostly address the economic and social aspects of it in that, by lowering teen pregnancy we will be economical, in that more than $19 billion dollars will be saved. Social in that, teen pregnancy is a social issue.
