Reflection: Alicia DeMarchi
Project Citizen has taught me so many different skills that I will take with me for the rest of my life. I learned that when people are passionate about a topic and put their minds together they can accomplish a lot. I also learned that in order to make a change you need to be very active in your community and get your word out. I did this through talking at a board of ed meeting, this not only made me more comfortable talking to people of power it also got our word out so they know about the issue and can help us make a change. Before this project I did not know how easily a citizen can try and make a change in the government. They just have to do simple task such as writing a email and they could get there word across. Now I know this and in the future I will be a more active citizen and help others become active citizens.
