Post #20: As You Move Into the Next Phase of Your Life, How Will You Try to Affect Change in the World Regarding the Issues Studied in this Course?
Moving into the next phase of my life I plan to incorporate the passion and knowledge I've gained throughout this course by continuing to play an active part in the well being of my community, wherever that may be. In fact, in my case, giving back to the community is a condition that I must meet in order to maintain my scholarship next year. For this reason, I feel that I can guarantee that I will continue to participate in communal charities and fundraisers in order to actively work towards a change. In addition to this, one goal I have for my future is to participate in a Me to We or Free the Children trip to a developing nation in order to gain real-world experience and obtain connectedness on an entirely new level. I personally think that I will always feel passionately about giving back to those less fortunate, and will always advocate for the reversal of the cycle of poverty. I feel wholeheartedly that it is our right, as members of a developed nation, to assist others who are not as fortunate as we happen to be, in obtaining a more sustainable lifestyle. Thus, I will try to affect change in the world regarding issues studied in this course by staying aware, raising awareness, and actively working towards a change.

I really like how you mentioned that you wanted to continue staying involved with your community! I think that its definitely a great way to help make a difference domestically, and the fact that you want to take a trip with Me to We is even better! I think that continuing to acquire these types of global experiences will definitely help you to achieve the connected feeling and help you to be directly involved in the resolution of some of our planet's most grave issues.
ReplyDeleteI have similar goals when it comes to the future and how I want to make a difference! Sometimes its difficult being a busy 18 year old teenager trying to keep their marks up in school and university, but being involved in groups such as me to we and going on service trips are things that will definitely make a better difference in this world!
