JROTC CADETS LEARN TO DEVELOP MENTAL FITNESS Last month Ms. Paredes, our own School Psychiatric Social Worker and Healthy Start Coordinator, converged on the cadets of the Army JROTC department to teach them the importance of mental fitness. This was a special treat for the cadets and supported the JROTC curriculum of self awareness and the appreciation of diversity through winning colors. Ms. Paredes and her team enlighten the cadets on the availability of her staff if ever they needed someone with which to talk. She stressed that mental health should not be thought of in the negative rather akin to physical health which require
proper maintenance as well to achieve our whole person health potential. The cadets in all the classes enjoyed the instruction. One cadet commented that if it wasn’t for that class, he wouldn’t have known that the Healthy Start Program was available. Cadet Corporal Christian Cruz, the public affairs officer in the JROTC program, interviewed Ms. Paredes. He was interested in what a person must do if psychiatric field. She commented that if anyone is interested they must have the desire to help people and be supportive. She also said that a person must achieve a college degree in psychology. The
Healthy Start Program here at Lincoln has a direct and positive impact on the health and academic performance of our students. Thanks to dedicated people like Ms. Paredes and her staff who have that desire to help our students to develop their mental health and prepare for a demanding future.

24th Annual AIDS Walk Los Angeles By Ronald Castillo On Saturday October 19, 2008 the MHC student council united with the GSA for one common cause, the 24th Annual AIDS Walk Los Angeles (AWLA). AWLA is a 6.2-mile walkathon that is intended to help raise money for AIDS service organizations throughout Los Angeles. Since1985, AWLA has raised more than $63 million for HIV programs and services throughout the Los Angeles County and is recognized as one of the largest AIDS fundraising events in the U.S. Twenty-seven Lincoln students in total attended the AIDS Walk. A small number compared to the more than 30,000 in attendance. Even so, MHC managed to raise 300 dollars for a great cause. The event lasted from 8:30 am until 4:30pm. Among the supporters were Congress-
man Berman, Alan Cumming, Rachel Griffiths, and Linda Cardellini . The opening ceremony included performances by the cast of “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” who performed “The Day After That.” And, John Schneider (“Chicago,” “Smallville,” “Dukes of Hazzard”) who performed Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” which closed the opening ceremony. It was a long walk but also a fun experience. There were people chanting and even more performances at some of the checkpoints. There were people, hundreds and thousands of people as far as the eye can see. It felt as if you were in the center of the ocean .It was amazing to see the magnitude of the situation and how so many people are now taking action. According to AWLA an estimated 60,000 people are living with HIV/AIDS in Los
Angeles County with five new infections occurring each day. Nationally, new HIV infections are 40 percent higher than previously believed and the number of people living with HIV in the U.S. has hit an all-time high. Gay men, minorities and young people remain at heightened risk. This year AWLA raised $3.2 million dollars. AIDS Walk is great way to help others in need and at the same time earn service-learning credit.So be sure to sign up next year!
