PART A:
What did I enjoy? I enjoyed people asking me how i made my product, I enjoyed making my product, I enjoyed it when people said it was cool, and i enjoyed telling people the process of making my product.
What did I learn? I learned how to start my own business, I learned that it’s ‘first come, first serve’ because if someone says that they will see if they will buy it, chances are they are going to find something slightly cheaper and buy that instead of your $5.00 product v.s a $1.50 product.
What was one problem I had? I had a problem with how much it costed to make my product but all i had to do was raise the price. The problem with that was, i had the most expensive product in the gym. But i broke even so i was ok with that.
PART B:
How do you feel about the product you selected for your business? I felt like it sold well & that people liked it and thought my product was cool.
What are some tips that you could use to select a product to sell in the future? Add a picture to the paintings with less detail and colour.
PART C:
What organization did you choose to support? I chose B.C. Children’s hospital because my cousin has cancer and she goes to B.C. Children’s Hospital.
What does the organization do? B.C. Children’s Hospital takes care of sick and injured kids.
We Walk For Water
Every day girls must walk hours to collect clean water.
We’re the generation who can change this.
Twenty awesome grade 7 students in Me to We walked for water on Thursday, May 24th, 2018 during their lunchtime. Each of them committed to collecting $25 in pledges. Twenty-five dollars gives one person water for life.
1.I am proud of this because…
I am proud of this because I got to help people that spend long hours walking with water on a day-to-day basis, by raising $25 to get a person water for life. I got a taste of what the children in Sierra Leone, and in other countries on our globe, have to go through every day, in order to get water that is often full of waterborne diseases and other bacteria, sometimes having to miss out on getting an education in order to get water. I am proud that I now have a better understanding of their hardships, and that I am helping them!
2. Something new that I learned and understand better…
Something new that I learned and understand better is that it is one thing to learn about the topic of human suffering in a quiet classroom in relative comfort, and quite another to try and walk in the shoes of the people you are studying about. Participating in the We Walk for Water event made me realize through first-hand experience just how much physical strain and toil is put on the girls who have to fetch water everyday. However, even though walking for water left my back and shoulders sore, I know that the pain I went through is merely a watered down version of what children in Sierra Leone and elsewhere in the world have to go through everyday, as I did not even walk for half-an-hour, and they must walk for many, many hours, and under much harsher, tougher, circumstances.
3. My biggest challenge was…
My biggest challenge was not spilling the water everywhere, which I did end up doing, on account of the water sloshing out of the bucket when I moved, and when I dropped it once when someone made me laugh. It became uncomfortable when some of the water that spilled out of the bucket I held soaked through my shirt.
4. I still have questions and uncertainties about…
My questions are:
- How do those who have to fetch water for hours each day have the power to go on everyday?
- Why don’t those who have the funds to help those with not enough water not do so?
Young Entrepreneurs: Part C
1. What organization did you choose to support?
I feel like either donating 10% to Me to We or the BC Children’s Hospital. Me to We because they’re raising money and they donate money to country’s in need and the Children’s Hospital because I just feel like donating money to those kids in need.
2. What does this organization do?
Like I mentioned earlier, Me to We donates to country’s in need and for the hospital, I just feel like helping the kids in need.
3. How do you feel about helping others in this way?
I feel great about helping others. I can’t really explain how I feel, I just feel happy.
Young Entrepreneurs: Part B
1. Begin by telling us your business name and slogan (do you have a pic?)
My business name was called, Calming Glitter Bottles and my slogan was, Goodbye to Anxiety. Here’s a link to my product: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oc67JqgXHxh-LMgZSLTsNaZtBlm4kOlk/view?usp=sharing
2. How do you feel about the product you selected for your business?
I feel about 8/10 because I didn’t sell all of it, so now I feel like I should’ve made stress balls because I make stress balls real nicely, but still, I feel great about my product choice.
3. What are some tips that you could use to select a product to sell in the future?
I think I could’ve at least make my area a bit more eye catching because my friend, Anjuli, her station was pretty bright. So I should’ve put a bit more brighter colours to catch attention.
Young Entrepreneurs: Part A
1.What Did You Enjoy?
I enjoyed many things from the entrepreneurs project. I enjoyed making my product,, and I enjoyed learning how to start a business. That was a really fum experience for me.
2.What Did You Learn?
I learned a lot of things. First, I learned how to start a business. Second, I learned how to make a glitter bottle like a pro! Finally, I learned how hard starting a business is.
3. What Was One Problem You Had? How Did You Overcome It?
My number one problem was how much glue I had. So I was making the last 4 but I had 2 more bottles of glue left. I was stuck. So I figured out how to divide it and it worked.
We Walk For Water
Every day girls must walk hours to collect clean water.
We’re the generation who can change this.
Twenty awesome grade 7 students in Me to We walked for water on Thursday, May 24th, 2018 during their lunchtime. Each of them committed to collecting $25 in pledges. Twenty-five dollars gives one person water for life.
- I am proud of this because…
I am proud of walking for water because I get to participate in a charity that helps children (mostly females) that can give a child water for life ($25 gives a child water for life), as well as letting children have an education instead of wasting hours and hours on collecting unclean water.
2. Something new that I learned and understand better…
Something I learned and now understand much better now, is how tiring it is to carry jugs and buckets of water, DAILY for eight hours. As well as how much time children have wasted collecting water when they could be attending to an education for a successful future.
3. My biggest challenge was…
My biggest challenge was definitely carrying two buckets of water for half an hour, but at least I was able to go around the school eight times, and I got a taste of the work many children had to go through around the world.
- I still have questions and uncertainties about…
Why mostly girls have to spend most of their childhood life fetching water, why not boys, what makes girls not as important as boys? I think both genders are quite equal, we are both nothing but human beings that all deserve a fair life.
We Walk For Water
We walk for water was a total success!
I walked 11 laps and was one of the people who walked the most!
I’m so happy that I got to contribute and pay my respects!!!
1. I am proud of this because….
I am proud because i got to contribute to such a great cause, like that warms my heart and makes me feel good 🙂
I feel like i made a change even if it wasn’t big.
2. Something new that I learned and understand better
that there are people crying, suffering, and dying just to get water… That hurts my heart. Everyone should have equal privileges.
No one should be broken because of water.
I learned that there are people extinguishing because of water.
3. My biggest challenge was
Trying to not spill water from my bucket. Like for some reason the water would just hop out and soak me. \
It like jumps out of the bucket and tries to eat me or something :/
4. I still have questions and uncertainties about..
I have no questions.
It’s pretty self explanatory!
some people are born with mansions and lots of money, whilst others are born with no home no safe life and little chance to live.
We need stop this!!!
People should have the same privileges and treated the same as everyone else!!

1. I am proud of this because…
I am proud of walking for water because there are lots of females in Sierra Leone who have to take very long trips just to get a bucket of dirty water from the rivers. I am proud to say that I walked for water because it was an experience that I will never forget, females everyday in Sierra Leone have to walk long trips just to get dirty water and they can’t get an education because of that!
2. Something new that I learned and understand better…
Something new that I learnt and understood better was that females have to go through the dreadful pain everyday. Everyday their hands, fingers, backs, and feet will ache and they also don’t get any education because of this situation.
3. My biggest challenge was…
My biggest challenge was that almost every minute or so, I would have to stop and put my two milk jugs on the ground to give my aching fingers a rest for a few seconds. I would then have to continue walking around the trail until I would have to stop again for a rest because it was heavy.
4. I still have questions and uncertainties about…
I still have questions about why females have to still walk to get dirty water.
People from different countries should come to Sierra Leone and build a water dispenser so that the girls will not have to walk very far and also get an EDUCATION!

- I am proud of this because…..
I am proud of this because I did we walk for water around the school for 25 minutes while carrying 2 jugs of water. I also raised $25 which can give one person clean water for life.
2. Something new that I learned and understand better……..
I understand more clearly now that when girls go to fetch water for very long periods of time and far distances, it is very painful to walk to and back for water and that girls have very tire-some times fetching water.
3. My biggest challenge was…
The biggest challenge I had was the walk around the school while carrying water jugs.
4. I still have questions and uncertainties about…
A question I have is how will the water get to the people who need the water? Is it with a pipe? Are other people going to bring it?
