Michelle+P.

Phase I: Who Am I? What's My Place?

I try to be a leader whenever I get the chance, I am good at staying on task, I'm funny, and my friends call me strange. I am quiet around people I don't know, I have a good work ethic, and I am helpful.
 * What __really__ makes up your identity?

My sense of place is being alone or around nature. It's hard to be around people without an opinion being created of you, therefore being alone is the easiest place to be for me.
 * What __really__ makes up your sense of place?

My ability to be neutral in any fight and I help fix conflicts a lot. I'm quirky and keep my friends on their toes because I am random.
 * What roles do your identity and sense of place play when you work with others in a group project?

I am a leader with perseverance. I don't like to stop on projects I begin.
 * What are the qualities that you bring to the GLIP conversation that will help you make a contribution to your global group?

Honestly, I don't pay attentioon to my surroundings but I would say economy. MORE JOBS!
 * What is one local problem (where you live) that you believe needs to be addressed? Suggest some steps could you take to try to solve it?

People need tot have a sense of self and voice. They have to be able to ignore peer pressure
 * Finally, some problems have been around for a long time. What qualities do you think a person must have to step up and try to solve them?

Phase II: Sense of Place

Use these questions to help you determine which picture shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you.

Scenic Pictures in my town represent places some people may not see every day. Scenic pictures (when captured at the right moment) can give a citizen of the town a whole new idea about what is "out there". Even though a group of people can represent the diversity of the population in a town, pictures of a group does not always imply that they are friendly and open people. Often we forget the important aspects of Raleigh because we see it every day, but statues remind us that Raleigh does have a historic influence. I don't believe that we have many cultural events, bug fest and all other events don't seem to reflect the culture of Raleigh (because I know we don't eat bugs).

What are your initial thoughts about how your image addresses the questions above? Later, you will be working with the members of your group to create a travel package that includes visits to each group member's home location (see Phase II)

Phase III: Identify Local Issue:

What is your local issue? One issue of Raleigh, North Carolina is littering.

What can you do to be address the issue? The issue of littering can be addressed by cleaning up, not littering, and reporting cars that litter to the government.

What is the global impact of your local issue? Litter impacts the world by leaving bad impressions on people who visit North Carolina, and effecting the ecosystem.
