Reflection: Sydnee Schapiro
Project Citizen has taught me so many valuable life lessons that will not only help me in the classroom or in work, but through many other paths of life as well. First of all, this project has really proved to me that you can make such an impact and anyone has the power to change policies in their community. Not only have I never created a website before but I have never created a petition, or spoke at a board of education meeting. To be honest, before starting this project, I didn’t believe that a group of 8 high schoolers doing a school project truly had the ability to go so far with this issue. Looking back many months later, there is no doubt in my mind that any person, no matter their age, gender, beliefs, etc. has the ability to make a difference and fight for a change.
