The thing I challenged in my fire project issue was taking action. I challenged this because I feel like taking action is very challenging since you have to catch the people attention and curiosity of my topic. I also thought that the project it self was a challenge because I was able to express myself about what bother me in society and my voice was being heard. Even though it was a lot of work I think it was worth it because it is a great start for the students to be passionate about something that excites them. Taking action is what makes the project worth doing because we’re not just talking about what upsets us, we actually have a chance to make a change for ourselves to improves lives of other human beings around us. I think that these topics would get very far in life with support and hard work. I also think that eventually a change would occur it will just take time. I don’t think that we should stop here I think this is actually just the beginning of a good start. Eventually I would be motivated form the people around me to continue working on this issue and trying to make a change. From doing this fire project I learned that as a society we have to work together to make progress in something we’re passionate about, we must stay focused. By doing the fire project I faced my fears of taking action alone and stating the things that need to be changed. I was able to express myself and get feed back from people around me to help me solve this issue despite of the challenges and difficulties. I now know that anything is possible and it takes a lot of work to find solutions to global problems that take place every where weather than just our community or the society were surrounded by.
