During Project Citizen I have learned very valuable insight about not only collaboration but also with not standing to the side watching problems progress but to take action against what is seen to be unjust and needing of change. Through collaboration this task became not only an interesting way to come up with solutions to problems that are heavily prevalent in our society today but an easy way to learn about the world around us to not just change a single issue but to also how to establish change to all problems. Our group worked very hard with us reaching all deadlines on time and were fairly communicative outside of class and inside of class when questions arose, it was sure to be answered within a timely manner. I think this project has given valuable expierence for how to work effectively in a group since over the past months we have worked as a group to complete this project to the best of our ability.
Past the lessons on collaboration this issue is of pinnacle concern to me and many of my other group mates for one reason in particular: the imminent enrollment of a university/college. This next step in our future is extremely costly even with scholarships and upon further reflection we noticed that the cost is extremely prohibitive for people even in afluent communities. This realization plunged us into vast amounts of research with us coming to understand that this trend of surging prices for higher education is nothing new and have been exponentially increasing over the past years. This trend not only effects today but the future because without the accessabillity of higher education society will not be able to progress with the very limited amount of people that will have a degree with the continuous rising prices of college. This is why it is so prudent to get this issue solved so that not only me and my groupmates can thrive in the future but so that high schoolers around the country can thrive.
