Service Learning Activism Log #3

1. VOX has decided to converge another movie night that was supposed to be held in November with ours. Having two movie nights in one month seemed excessive to Anjella. I found myself relieved that this was happening because I was beginning to stress about the dilemma of being able to rent a room/be provided with multimedia technological devices/have a supervisor, etc. The change of plans is an ultimate success, provided that our project isn't going to be as independent as we had initially hoped (which could be considered a pitfall if you look at the glass half empty)! Next week I plan on getting more information, relaying the event information to my friends, getting the DVD, and begin to think about food/drink that will be provided!

2. I feel adamant in my belief that VOX contibutes greatly to the progressive community in the aspect that it promotes and encourages safe sex and reproductive health, which is crucial to age bracket of students that attend UCF. Aside from the numerous reasons for why women become pregnant, although the experience is considered extremely personal it is also something that is highly concentrated on a macro level (Okazawa-Rey, and Kirk 211). It is apparent that VOX firmly supports the freedom for women to make decisions regarding the health of their child and themselves.

3. On a personal level, the experience of working with VOX has given me more insight to how hard the progressive community at UCF is working to make a breakthrough of undivided attention from peers as well as the community. Also, I have become more cognizant of the the fact that my future, in terms of reproductive health, is essentially in the hands of the progressive community.
