Decent Essays
Hi Dr. Beech,

I just want to share with you a major win for me. I have to give YOU credit for being such a wonderful example and having confidence in my ability . On Tuesday, I hosted my first Lunch and Learn for Women of Progress. Beneta Burt was our speaker. I served as the host and organizer for this event. I had a goal of making this group more familiar with Community Based Research and health related initiatives. The question and answer session after her speech, was phenomenal! This activity was completely separate from our office. Women for Progress's mission is to be a catalyst for advocacy, awareness, and action, in Mississippi http://womenforprogress.net/. We really want to support community initiatives that are making an impact

    I live in Alpena, Michigan; it’s a pretty small town. There are plenty of things we could do to make it a better community. For example, if our community would engage in more volunteer work, like helping the Alpena Huron Human Society and cleaning up the streets, Alpena’s appearance and reputation would would be affected in a positive way. To give Alpena a more friendly approach to tourist and people living here we could participate in volunteer work. It’s a great thing you could do that doesn’t cost the community a lot of money, if any at all.…

    Personally, I found Zoe Lofgren’s discussion to be inspiring as well as insightful toward the government’s practices. Zoe mentioned that she grew up with politics as a part of her life and participated in the March for Democrats with her family annually. Through family discussions on current events, she was able to explore and debate politics with her relatives. This has inspired me to be more open to political conversations with my own family members so that I can learn more about the world as a whole and become more familiar with perspectives of those who face different circumstances than I do in my daily life. Additionally, her belief that we must confront our nation’s issues and openly discuss uncomfortable topics has motivated me to talk…
