One of the best things I have accomplished in this class was, going to city hall and presenting are city of Kitchener youth forum presentation.
This was one of my highlights of this year, I put some much time and effort into making it the best it could be. My presentation was about putting in two stop signs at the intersection of church st and cedar st south. I did extensive research on where it was located , how/if it was possible to put stop signs in that location.I was in luck stops signs are able to be put in, all that was need was the cost for labor and things of that nature.So we went to to city council and the councilors ate it up.
I was very proud of my self at this point in time, I always felt that I had no power to do anything in life that can make a difference.Its always somebody else making a change not the little guy. But Mr Kemp provided an opportunity for me to make a change, to make a difference no matter how small you are. You still changing the world on step at a time. This changed my view on how I look at thinks, tackle obstacles differently now. In stead of assuming I cant do it, I now tackle it head on and accomplish it.
This was worth being part of my Curation, because this was a major problem and I got to spread awareness and take it further to where the stop signs might get put in.The intersection was in fact a hazard, two kids have been hit at the location just recently.It is very close to the schools CHCI, QMPS. Thus one of the many reasons I added it to my Curation.
