Reflection

Even though I do see the importance of taking action in order to see change, I also see how difficult it can sometimes to take action when there are things that hold you back and when you grew up with a mind set. I agree with Marquita about taking action and not living in fear, however people can easily become accustomed to living that way. It can take a lot to change a persons' entire perspective on life. Not everyone is born to take action and be a leader, however if a person is strong and finds a way to do so then they can change the world and make an impact on the lives other.
