 Dayjuan Lawrence Blog 2   When we first got assigned the changemakers presentation, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I thought it would just be another regular class project where we research someone and present basic facts. But after going through all the presentations from my group, I realized it was actually deeper than that. Each person we studied had a real impact on society, whether it was positive, controversial, or a mix of both. It made me think more about how one person’s decisions can shape the world in ways we don’t always notice at first. My group covered a variety of different individuals, including George W.

What stood out to me the most was how different all of these people were, yet they were all considered changemakers in their own way. I personally focused on George W.

Dylan Revollo (Group 2) Post  #2 Blog #2 Every presentation was amazing and enjoyable to watch. I could tell how much research and effort each person put into this project by seeing their slides and the way they spoke. I liked how everyone had different styles when presenting, which could be of use in the future. I was nervous at first when this project was mentioned, but as I was researching and became more knowledgeable, I grew more confident that when I needed to present, I wasn’t nervous anymore. Each of these presentations helped me understand the changemakers that made an impact on America. Group 4 was the one that presented first since they had the constitution authors, allowing me to learn more about our democracy and founding fathers. Rosniel was the first in the group to go, and I liked how he added a brief introduction on how a group of leaders built a nation from nothing with the making of the United States Constitution, which still follows their vision today.
