This week was full of advancing our project. On some days this week, we worked in our project groups to really get our project rolling, by researching costs, recipes, emailing stores to donate some food to us, designing our product etc. We also started a gofundme (click here) to help us get our business off of the ground. We also did our second socratic seminar on an article about the question of "Why bother?". Why bother fixing our environment? Why bother walking instead of driving? I liked the topic of this article (not so much the article itself, but the topics it touched on) because it was far more interesting to discuss, as it wasn't telling us what to think, just presenting us with questions to ask ourselves. It was interesting hearing what everyone had to say and the topics that the questions led us into: we covered the environment, food, our voice, the education system, happiness....and a lot of existential questioning. All in all, I think it was a very interesting seminar to be a part of, and I feel everyone left the circle with something to think about. The only thing I really regret is I totally didn't meet my goal to talk only 4 times, I talked 12 times. I didn't feel like I overpowered the conversation, but I feel maybe if I had remained quiet (like I did a good job of in the beginning) maybe other people would have had to step up who don't talk much. I think I only talked when I felt I actually had something to say rather than just wanting to talk, which is good, and I felt satisfied with most of my points, but I felt I was too eager to speak and maybe should have been more patient in my speaking.
