| Panel Discussion |
Today I was able to have a true experience of a
lifetime. I participated in a panel with Peter Senge, in which I got to speak
with teachers and fellow students. I was amazed at the dedication that both the
teachers and the students showed as the conversation went on. The personal
stories that people shared were relatable, and I was able to connect to the feelings
expressed at the panel on a personal level. I came to the realization that we
all have the same idea of wanting to make a change, and that we all want to
take the steps through system thinking to accomplish complex situations.
Complex situations often seem impossible to solve, but talking about the
approach to solve these situations, connecting students and teachers, is
ultimately the most inspiring thing that occurred to me tonight. The panel gave
me the chance to recap the idea that both students and staff work exceptionally
hard to achieve greatness for each other. I believe that once we realize that,
collaboration and associations with each other absolutely creates a solid
foundation to teach future generations to come about how to prepare for the
world we live in today. The education system often undergoes multiple changes,
some better than others. Regardless, we learn as we experience different
teaching methods and curriculum. Nothing will ever be perfected, but by the
work that we have been doing at Camp Snowball the past 5 years, it makes a
great difference to those who choose to make a change. In the picture given
here, there is myself seated with the members of the panel. It was an honor to
be seated with these people tonight, and I learned about the true connection we
all share with our passion for the future and what we want to accomplish in our
communities.
