Reflection: While doing this project I learned that anyone can participate in their government. No person is too small or too insugnificant. Sure, maybe we didin’t exactly accomplish our goal, but we learned that if we chose to truly prusue it, it would not have been impossible to complete. Democracy is all around us and is made to work for you, if you choose to imbrace it. I learned that I am capable of doing things I thought were impossible. I even surprised myself when I realized that I was able to commit and go for something that I wasn’t sure would end well. Many people laughed at the idea of trying to change the school’s policies, any of the policies. Many kids feel that the school is too far above us for us to able to change any of it. But I learned that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. I have always been able to work well with others in group projects, but I observed that if everyone in the group truly wants to accomplish the same goal, the project goes much more smoothly. All my group members felt passionate about the issue and it allowed us to work easily and effectly with one another. I learned that when working with others you want to find people who feel as heartfelt about the issue as you. It makes for smooth sailing.
