Post Project 3: What I Learned From It

This week project 3 was turned in, and hopefully the results turn out to be great. My group worked together very hard on this project, this project definitely took more time and more out of the classroom work than any of the previous projects. As a group we hope that we have successfully raised awareness about the food on campus to a lot of the students. Of course it is impossible to talk to every single student about it, but by handing out over 200 nutrition cards around campus, submitting an article to the Keystone Newsletter, and talking to our friends and classmates about it, we hope that our message continues to spread throughout the rest of the semester. By doing this project about a local problem that I would like to see improved or fixed, I have learned that if you are unhappy with something, you are NOT alone. There are around 10,000 students attending the same school as you and chances are they have things to complain about too. I have learned that you can not sit back and watch this problem progress as it bothers and irritates you inside. Do something about it! Talk to someone about it! There are dozens of creative ways that you can attempt to fix this problem or raise awareness about it. Do not have a narrow mind and think that you can not change something, anything is possible, and your voice is powerful. Before this project I never thought that I would have the power and courage to stand up against something that I disapprove of. But the truth is, people do not mind your opinions and suggestions, most people around campus actually want to hear what you have to say. So now it is time for the rest of the students here at Kutztown to reach out and make suggestions, to make everyone else's college experience a wonderful one.
