Reflection
This last two months have been hard work for all of the SOJO senior. We all have had struggles, struggles that will help us make our college life easier. During this fire project era I have seen growth in learning class concepts, reading and writing, and taking action.
Class concepts help me understand many other peoples thoughts. Freire helped me see text in a more broad way as I did not really look at text as something important, but something that just was made to tell a story. I appreciate that these concepts were brought up so I can also see the world another way. To see all of our flaws and what we have to try and change for the better of everyone else.
I also saw growth in my reading and writing while creating my fire project. I saw growth as I was able to understand text better such as college level readings. Also I managed to notice that my reading pace sped up as I had less trouble pronouncing larger worlds that I might have had trouble with before. Also I saw my writing skills rise as I was able to write for the first time an essay over three pages. Creating my fire project essay made me realize that I can actually write better than what I thought I could. Now I am forcing myself to go a bit further with my writing.
I also decided to take action as I was able to contact a small group that has been having issues on trying to stop cartels. The sad part was that I was not able to do much to try and help lower the violence of this issue because of the fore and magnitude that it carries within. There is nothing one high school kid can do to try and stop this. Maybe if there was a larger group of men that were not scared to go against something that is wrong, we might be able to see some change in this issue.
This senior project made me create growth in class concepts, reading and writing skills, and taking action for what is right.
