The refection on Me to We Day
Today, Mr. Grubb, Ms. Plaunt and 13 students from Jesse Ketchum (include myself) had the honor to represent our school to went to the Toronto’s Ricoh Coliseum to celebrate the second annual National Me to We Day. National Me to We Day was a unique celebration aimed at educating, inspiring and empowering youth to leadership through social action and volunteerism. National Me to We Day has equipped thousands of youth nationwide with the tools to become socially engaged global citizens.
We saw a lot of speakers, entertainers, and musicians in this event, such as a war affected children Michel Chikwanine, who was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He experienced the African Civil War and was forced to leave his home country at the age of 11 as a refugee. All the performers used their heart to perform, because they believed we can bring what we learned from this event back to school, and make the change in our school and our community. They also used their actions to tell us that we can change the world by just doing small things, such as share the things we learned today with other people, and tell them why it is so important to help those people that are now still in poverty in the world.
