Hello from Pennsylvania, USA
Hey OWYPers!
This is my first year as a project ambassador with OWYP. I am working with schools in Mexico, Costa Rica, Kentucky, and Oregon. I am also working with government contacts in all of your countries. I have been lobbying and working with government officials for a few years now, if anyone is interested in learning about how to get involved feel free to message me.
What I have learned about becoming involved in government both locally, nationally, and internationally is that you have a voice. Every one of you has a distinctive voice. It can be as loud as you want or as quiet. But what is important is how your use your voice. I encourage all of you to use it to create positive change in your communities. We are so very fortunate that we have One World Youth Project to engage in dialouge so that we can come together, make a difference and change the world.
Over the past few weeks I have been thinking what culture means to me. At home (Annapolis, MD) the 'local' culture is centered on the water. I grew up sailing, catching Maryland crabs in the river, and playing at the beach. Where I go to school the culture is Dutch and Amish. There is also a culture centralized which relied on the manufacturing of steel. Culture extends farther beyond just where you live and go to school. For me it is about your traditions, customs, and beliefs. I believe that your culture depends on your life experiences.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful year so far! Keep up with the fantastic work.
Cheers!
