AP.net Chat: Valentines Day Doesn't Have to Suck with TWLOHA - News Article

**TWLOHAChloe** · 05:13 PM on 02/14/12 #1

Dear TWLOHA what advice do you have for us Storytellers campaign student organizers (wow long title) It gets stressful and i don't want to fail.. I want this to be as great as it can be. i want this to reach others. But a lot of kids are rude and put it down which sucks but doesnt matter in the end. What advice do you have for us in general???????

We know it can be stressful, but just keeping positive and encouraged is key. You guys are all doing great. No matter what, you won't fail. You're participating in a campaign that has never been done before and you're bringing the TWLOHA message to your school.

If you visit the group we created on Buzznet you can communicate with other organizers as well to keep getting ideas.

You are no alone you are loved

Absolutely!! We'd love to see it. You can also add it at the Buzznet group too. :)

We're sorry to hear this. We had a lot of people worried about that same thing, but the beautiful thing about it is that we're all in this together. Many of the student organizers we now have thought they might be told no because of what TWLOHA is about, but they were met with understanding, compassion and excitement. It can be scary, but they might surprise you. If you hear no at first, we are more than happy to talk with your administration / advisor to provide more detailed information. People often say no to things they don't understand or are afraid of, but once they hear the bigger picture become accepting and understanding.

Thank you so much!!

Please send the snow down to Florida. I sure miss it. :) Flowers are a nice gesture, but we can show how we care for others in all other sorts of ways. Flowers don't define you, and hopefully there are other people in your life who show you they care without flowers.
