What are your biggest fears, and what are your biggest dreams?

By stepping out of their comfort zones, members of Southeast Missouri State University's To Write Love on Her Arms group helped people answer these questions by holding a Fears vs. Dreams event for the group's second time on campus at 5 p.m on Wednesday near Towers Café. The event was part of Suicide Prevention Week.

TWLOHA began as a fundraiser in February of 2006 for Renee Yohe during the five days before she went into rehabilitation concerning her struggle with addiction, depression and self-injury. When she was admitted into rehab, her friends sold T-shirts with the "To Write Love on Her Arms" saying on it, and the group was soon founded in Orlando, Fla.

The organization has grown nationwide, and representatives are present at many concerts and festivals to talk to people in hopes of overcoming the stigma of reaching out for help and aiding those who need it, said Southeast TWLOHA President Jaime Myler.

"I am passionate about TWLOHA because everyone is going through something like this or has a friend who has experienced one of these things, and we want to help reach out to people," said Myler, a junior who is studying psychology.

Fears vs. Dreams is a campaign that began in the summer of 2011, and it is popular on college campuses throughout the country. During Wednesday's event, students were given a sheet of paper with the questions, "What is your biggest fear?" and "What are your greatest dreams?" Then, Southeast students wrote their responses and had their picture taken by the group's vice president, Tori Proctor. The picture featured the person and his or her paper under the TWLOHA and Fears vs. Dreams signs.

Brian Kelly, a graduate student at Southeast, knew about the event previously and stopped by the table to support the group and partake in the event.

"I think it is a great way to show people what the group is about," Kelly said.

Bryce Conner, an undergraduate student, who had heard about TWLOHA beforehand, did not know about Wednesday's Fears vs. Dreams campaign.

"I support it [TWLOHA], and I do appreciate all that the members do," Conner said. "It's a good way to start the process of helping people."

While encouraging students to admit their fears and dreams, the group sold merchandise including water bottles, lanyards, bracelets and sticker packs. The proceeds will be split between TWLOHA at Southeast and TWLOHA National, Myler said.

The organization meets at 8 p.m. on Tuesday nights in the Indian Room at the University Center.

During the meetings, those who attend discuss different life issues. The current members would like to encourage other students to attend these meetings, as well as their upcoming Out of Darkness Walk which will take place in February.
