What inspires me the most about my advocacy focus plan is to be able to make a difference in the lives of children; and what better way than by creating a dynamic group who’s sole purpose is to raise money and other benefits for the children of the daycare. An exciting element of being an advocate is also working with strangers and meeting new people in the process.
I am very much afraid that my efforts will be futile in the end. I do have to remember and keep in mind that failure is a possibility. I just have to remain positive and even if I do fail to bring about significant change to not get discouraged. On the contrary, it should motivate me to work harder. In encouraging others, I can always let them know this, that our efforts may seem in vain at first but they’ll always lead to something else, even if it is just more awareness about the issues among the community and the others affected by it.
Yes, failure is a possibility and that's how we learn and do better next time. This whole process has been stressful and nerve racking for me, which I hope paid off now or in the future. Don't worry, as long as you give your all and stay positive you'll be fine. Best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteHi, do you have any questions about your advocacy presentation? How are you going to raise the money, I guess I am a little confused. Even if you influence one child, parent, or professional you efforts are not futile and that is still success. I also agree with Lisa's comment about failure allowing one to learn and do better with the next opportunity.
