We have this project that made us change. Some of us might not changed that much but still changed for the better. It's about making a difference, for me, it really did made a difference to me and to my fellow group mates. Last March 9,2012 we went to Burnham and Childrens Park, we wanted to give attention to city ordinances that are not strictly followed. So we wore placards and walked through these places.

A lot of people just passed by and ignored us but i knew we were not totally ignored because some people took the time to read what we were showing them and reflected on themselves. When we got to Childrens Park i noticed that all eyes were on us. We planned to give lectures about the city ordinances but we had a hard time getting the attention of the people even though they were looking at us. I thought even if it looks like they ignore us, i know they can still hear us.
While walking i saw someone spat two times, i was wearing the "NO SPITTING" sign so i wanted to inform the man about the city ordinance. I was nervous about informing him by myself so i asked my group mate Gabby to help me. We went up to the man and explained to him that there is a city ordinance that says it is not allowed to spit. I guess the man was a little embarrassed but he accepted his fault and we didn't see him spit anymore.
After a few more minutes of walking we decided to rest and have some fun. So we played at the Childrens Park and got to experience being a kid again. I can say we did make a difference not only to others but also to ourselves and it really was a walk to remember
