Reflection: Ally Lindsey
Project Citizen has had such a positive influence on me both as a student and as a person. This project has opened by eyes and ears to what is going and what teens are going through. I have learned a lot from interacting with different teachers and students at Ridge High School. Although this project has had such a positive impact on my group-mates and I, a lot of work went into it. Countless hours of researching, surveying, and website designing was not an easy task. But the product of the project that we created has made all the work put in feel worth it. Project Citizen has taught me how to speak up for what’s important to me, how to work with a large group of people, and how to vocalize a message to not just a school, but to a nation. What I want for people to take away from our experience is that change is possible. All it takes is a conversation - a spark for change to begin. Project Citizen has taught me this valuable lesson, a lesson I will never forget.
