OBJECTIVE 1.1
OBJECTIVE 1.1
Provide skills, not just finished technologies.
We should share our talents and skills with the world, spreading our knowledge to the people around us. We need to make sure that every brain has the opportunity to share their ideas. We need skills, not only solutions, to make an impact on the global scale.
Listen to the right people.
To know what's going on around the world, we have to first listen and learn. We don't have the ability to make an impact if we don't understand the problems from the perspective of those who it deeply affects.

Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitization
Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitization
The point of goal 6 is to create a healthy environment for everybody by the year 2030. The target of this goal is to supply water and good hygienic facilities for the whole world. One factor they focus on explaining is how pollution plays a large role in lack of clean water. This is something that can be taken into the initiative by people of all ages. From a young age, children should be taught about the negative effects of trash and littering. Starting young will result in a better future. This goal is important because it is crucial for people to be living in a safe environment without having to worry about daily resources such as water. This would decrease the chances of disease throughout the earth, making it much safer for those who don't have easy access to hospitals and routine checkups. Daily, we take water for granted, using it carelessly, which should be accounted for. We don’t understand how there are other countries all over the world that don’t have the option of walking right to their kitchen and getting a fresh glass of water. Even by starting small and taking a shorter shower, we could save so much more water.

3 Things I Learned:
3 Things I Learned:
My group was responsible for gathering information about goal number fifteen, which talked about Life on Land. Through that, I learned lots of new facts about how our world is being negatively affected through human inflicted problems. One number that really stuck out to me was that around 1.6 billion people rely on the forest for their livelihood, and that's not even including animals. Their lives are being destroyed everyday by machines, but this could be stopped at any time.
I learned that over 40% of the world's population is affected by the scarcity of water. Although I knew this was a problem which was connected to many people, I never knew that it was almost half of the world.
Lastly, I learned more about the different ways we, as young adults, can help out our community to make the world a cleaner, healthier, safer, and more equal place. A topic that interested me was the goal of quality education for all. The article on the goal for quality education explained how you can take action and contact responsible adults to make a difference in the way education runs around here.

I really liked how the videos used influential figures such as Malala and Emma Watson to reach out to people of all generations. They displayed facts and information in animated videos which would stand out to younger kids, adults, and everybody in between. They inspire people to invent and educate others.
I also thought that goal number one was really interesting. Poverty affects many more aspects of life, so I think it is very important that this gets addressed and action is taken by everybody, big or small. Their goal is to end poverty in the entire world by 2030, and I am confident that the people around the world will come together and help reach this objective.

2021 Global Summit
2021 Global Summit
This was actually the first Global Summit (2019 I had DECA States and 2020 was canceled) I got to experience and I loved it! Especially during Covid, getting to interact with so many students and teachers that I wouldn't normally see was reenergizing! The theme this year was Good Health and Wellbeing, one of the global goals that I am really passionate about. We started off the day with an introduction to the summit and then jumped right into the workshops. The first workshop I attended was gardening with Ms. Coombs and Ms. D'Alise, where I got to learn how to properly grow a plant without killing it. Following that, we got to hear from Dr. Brian who spoke about the COVID-19 pandemic and taught us about the disparities among different communities regarding healthcare. I'm interested in healthcare and medicine so I loved that he brought in real x-rays from his patients and explained to us how to read the charts. After the keynote speaker, we moved on to our last two workshops where I learned about henna designs and got to color a mural. Henna is a huge part of my culture but I've never learned how to properly do it; Mrs. Gupte showed us some beautiful designs and hopefully, we'll be able to practice with real henna cones once they come in. I got to end off our workshop sessions by coloring in a map mural with Mrs. Kuhlmann which will later be hung up in the library. To wrap up the Summit, we got to work in groups for the Global Design Challenge (doc attached below). We were challenged to create a solution for Boston's homeless population's access to healthcare services. We spent an hour designing an entire plan, combining our creative minds to think of the best possible solution, and we presented it to a larger group. It was amazing hearing everybody's unique ideas! And that brings the Summit to an end, it's sad that this was the last and only Global Summit I got to attend, but I had a great time!
