When I was ten years old, my mother and I went on a month long trip to Quito, Ecuador to visit my father and other family.

Although this probably sounds really interesting, I was against this trip from the first mention of it. However, since I was ten, my objection meant nothing and the trip happened as planned. We got up very early the day of the trip, a factor…

Participating in the Problem Mapping Dialogue project gave me new insight into how groups function. I believe this experience will serve me well as I go through my college career and work on various group assignments.

This activity provided us with solid feedback about what parts of group work we do well and what we need to improve for the future. One strength that I observed among my…

This term, my group for the Eco Action project decided to undertake a garbage cleanup in hopes of making our targeted area garbage-free by the end of our three-month timespan. We decided to do our cleanup in Mystic Vale, a forest southeast of the University of Victoria’s campus. My group—which consisted of Cole, Matt and Jed—aimed to influence others by eliminating the garbage in the forest, which would make others less inclined to litter. Although we face many challenges throughout the term, in…
