Sophomore inspire week

What Was Your Project About

My group did a project with Durango Young Progressives about how to get the youth more involved with politics around the community. We ended up creating an organization to benefit mental health and educate teenagers about voting because, we personally, didn't understand the process very well.

What Were Your Strengths

I really took on a leadership role during this project, I helped a lot with the video and made sure that everyone was keeping on task and doing what was asked of them. I helped assign roles and made sure that everyone's voice was being heard. Even though I was the self proclaimed leader, I still made sure to do as much work as possible that way it wasn't on everyone else's shoulders.

What Did I Learn During This Process

I learned this group wasn't necessarily directed towards students and teenagers but more so people under 40. Initally this made me upset because I thought their voices were being heard more than ours because we can't even vote yet. I also thought that this was going to be about how we can get their voices heard but it was actually how we can get them to understand what's going on.
