this is just a quick short answer about an extra curricular activity i did really quick, any comments or suggestions are accepted.
Feminist Club is an organization recently created at R.J. Reynolds High School. The club initially received a lot of repercussion from students and teachers alike who were ignorant to what feminism is. Although, these situations happened the group persevered. The club did whatever it could to get our message out to the community. Throughout the year, we collected old clothing then donated it to the local battered woman's shelter. Another activity we did was sell food with a 25-cent higher price difference for men, to simulate the wage gap. The members and I posted flyers around the school with statistics about gender gaps. All of these things educates the students and staff alike. This year not only more students joined but men as well as women. It truly feels amazing to know that we are making a difference in the lives of women and in our community. I want to continue changing things that will not only better our society but also the lives of everyday people. This is the reason I aspire to study political science, so I can one day help those who cannot help themselves.
