Recommended: The Important Knowledge Of History

As the fall semester of my Junior year is coming to an end I have realized I have grown as a global citizen and an academic student. I accomplished growing in both areas through field trips we have taken this semester. We have gone to two field trips as an eleventh grade class. One was to the movie theaters, and the other was college trips. The trips allowed me to grow in different ways.
Just recently we took an eleventh grade field trip to go watch the movie, “He Named me Malala.” We were only able to go on the trip thanks to donors.

History. In this class we had a presentation we were required to complete. I was in a group of four, we got the topic of Environmental Reform. Environmental Reform is changing the way people use resources; land and nature. Everyone including myself was provided an article about our topic. We were to read and annotate it. The next step was to create a presentation. Each person was to create three slides, the slides were to contain the problem presented in the article. The next slide was the solution to the problem. The last slide was how it affects us today and whether it was progressive or not. I got an article about the Hetch-Hetchy Reservoir and the Conservation Debate. It was about the mayor attempting to create Hetch-Hetchy into a dam to provide water, electricity, etc. for the city. Environmentalists were against the whole plan and even though this was very long ago I agree with them. It doesn’t matter at this point, because the mayor was successful. However, Environmentalist were able to put a stop to all the other attempts. As stated in the article, “...the very old problem,” as Roderick Nash wrote... of whether parks, reserves, and wilderness are for man … or for nature.” In my opinion, they are for nature, all those lands were put here long before we were, so we must respect that. Through this project I was in able to grow as an academic student by gaining
