My Journey to Change: A 10th Grader's Perspective

-

When I think about changing the world, it feels like staring at a giant puzzle with no clear starting point. It's this big idea that sounds noble but also overwhelming. But here's the thing: I believe it's possible, and I believe each of us, no matter how young, can make a difference.

So, where do we start? Well, I've been thinking a lot about this lately. First off, I've realized that change begins with me, with us. It's about looking at ourselves and figuring out what really matters to us. For me, it's things like the environment, fairness, and education. These are the issues that get me fired up.



Once I know what I care about, I dive into learning. I read articles, watch documentaries, and talk to people who know more than I do. Because let's face it, I'm still learning, and there's so much out there I don't know yet. But that's okay. Learning is part of the journey.



Then comes the fun part: taking action. It doesn't have to be anything huge. It could be starting a conversation with friends about why recycling matters or organizing a fundraiser for a cause I believe in. It's about using my voice and my actions to make a difference, no matter how small.



And you know what? I'm not alone in this. There are other people out there who care about the same things I do. So, I reach out to them. I join clubs at school, get involved in community projects, and connect with organizations that are already doing great work. Because together, we're stronger.



But let's be real: changing the world isn't easy. There are setbacks, doubts, and moments when it feels like nothing's working. But that's when I remind myself why I started in the first place. It's about making a difference, no matter how small, and leaving the world a little better than I found it. 

So, yeah, changing the world might seem like a big, daunting task. But I believe that if we take it one step at a time, if we stay true to ourselves and our values, we can make a real difference. And that's pretty exciting, if you ask me.

Inside the Mind of an Highschooler

  Hey there, I'm Reianne, and I'm here to give you a glimpse into my life as a 15-year-old high school student. I might not be the most outspoken or the top student in the class, but I've got a world of my own, filled with unique experiences and a passion for the quieter things in life. https://ischoolsapabella.wordpress.com/about/about-isnhs/ I am quite silent between my peers at school, it might be because i am more shy when there are more people around me but if you're a close friend i would be loud that's because i enjoy the time im having with my Friends.  Now, when it comes to academics, I fall into the "average" category. I'm not the kind of student who raises their hand all the time or rushes to answer every question. I take my time to understand things thoroughly. W hile I might not be the most vocal in class i am always listening until I fully understand the lesson that is being given. My interests and hobbies reflect my personal growth. I am
