Learn why this is important <br />Hello Councilmembers, <br />My name is Sweekriti Ratnam. I am a junior at Carlmont High School and am writing to <br />express my full support for moving forward with the development of the Teen Center across <br />from Sequoia High School. As a Redwood City teenager, I have seen firsthand the importance <br />of teenagers having a safe space to hang out and work in, given the pressures and stress we <br />face daily. Not all teenagers may have a safe space to come to after school, which can severely <br />impact their health and well-being. Having a Teen Center would allow the teenagers of <br />Redwood City to have a constant space in their lives where they can meet with others, <br />finish their homework, or get access to crucial physical and mental health resources, which are <br />all things the Teen Center across from Sequoia High School can provide. To better the lives <br />and experiences of teenagers in our community, I strongly support the development of the <br />Teen Center. <br />Regards, <br />Sweekriti Ratnam
