Weeks 9 and 10 are over, we are closer to the end!
Week 9: This week introduced us to the meaning of advocacy and health advocacy. Advocacy is the active promotion of a cause or principle. This lecture/discussion sparked our minds to think about our up-coming Advocacy Projects. For blogging, we had to find our political representatives' contact information. It was something that all students should do if they want to make a difference and have a reference if we ever need to get a hold of our president, governor, mayor, etc. In class on Thursday, we were introduced to our new Eye Opener: Photo Essay. The lecture was about the ethics of taking photos and how to take some interesting photos!
Week 10: This week we didn't have class but this it was time to take pictures for our photo essay. For my Eye-Opener, I chose to take pictures of Stadium Apartments and how their environment does not correlate with the mission statement of our University. I was hoping my photo essay would open all of your eyes to the daily life of someone who is disabled or in a wheelchair.
It will be interesting to see what the new few weeks have in store for us. Have a good weekend everybody!!

Great overview of weeks 9 and 10! I thought your advocacy project was very creative. I never really looked at things in that sort of perspective. Keep up the good work!

That was a good overview, while I was writing mine I had forgotten how much we actually did, even though we didn't have class for a whole week! I loved your eye opener! Great Job!
Kathy,
Good job on this reflection! I can't believe how fast last week went even though we didn't have class! Your photo essay was great, I would have never known about Stadium Apartments if it wasn't for your pictures. Keep on, keepin' on;)
