- Teen Life Project Reflection ;)

Hi,
We are now done with the Teen Life Project, so we need to reflect about how did we felt about it, what did we liked and disliked, and how did it helped us; basically is to tell what do we think about the project that we have made. So here it goes:

The first time that Mr. Hide talked about the Teen Life Project, the first thing that came to my head was that worries were about to come. You know that feeling of preoccupation that you have inside when you are not done with something, and you feel that the time that you have to finish the project reduces faster and faster? Well, I hate that feeling, and that’s exactly what I thought was about to come, so I really didn’t appreciate this whole idea of the Teen Life Project initially. As we moved on with the project, I began to care more and to gain more interest about it. I am that kind of person that loves to gain knowledge and to know every day more, so that when people are talking about for example history, I know what they mean and I can also get involved in the conversation, because one thing I really love is to socialize and to gain general culture too, because that is what we gain doing this project. And that was happening; I was gaining a lot of knowledge about different subjects because we needed to read what other people, from Malaysia and North America involved in the project, wrote. As well, we needed to research for choosing the issue that we wanted to know, write, and learn about.

From the very beginning I was interested in global warming, but I wanted to explore more things to see if I got interested in them, and I did, I got interested in poverty, animals rights, eating disorders, and several more. Even though I was interested a lot in poverty, I lead more to global warming, so I ended choosing global warming and I don’t regret, at all. I gained a lot of knowledge about this issue, and as I gained more knowledge my worries about a warming globe increased. Global warming is an inconvenient truth, like Algore’s documentary, which has a perfect title for a documentary of global warming because it is an inconvenient truth, and people still don’t care.

Doing this project I learned about politics, science, and about fixing some issues with a video camera. I got to solve problems with my partner we had never faced, and this is important because when we are grown ups and we go to college, and have our families we will need to face problems. Therefore, every person needs to know how to solve every kind of problem, and in my opinion every time a person faces a problem and solves it, learns more about how to solve problems.
