Challenge Day

Before the day started. We had no idea what we were getting ourselfs into!

Challenge day has forever changed my life. Challenge day was a day where 100 students about 15 teachers and a couple adult volunteers all came together to Be The Change. It was by far one of the best days of my whole high school career. It started out a party. We had a dance party unlike any I have ever been to, we played some get to know you games and just random games. It really made me and everyone else get out of their norm and let everyone see who they really are. Challenge day wasn't only about the fun, it was pretty much the biggest eye opener of my life! We split up into "families" and each person had two minutes to say, "If you really knew....." Lets just say it got deep. I said things to my family I have never told anyone before in my whole life. Everyone in my family was someone I hardly know at all. I was shocked by the story and life's that were shared just among my small family. Then I'd say the line crossing game was the best part of the day. I'm not a person who cries but tears definitely were shed during this game. You crossed the line if you have experienced whatever the lady said. For example, "Cross the line if you have ever been abused by a loved one or stranger" then everyone who has crossed the line. They said some deep and heart breaking things and to see tons of people cross the line on some of those experiences was insane! It really opened my eyes to how blessed I truly am. I had no idea people my age had even experienced some of those crazy questions that were asked. I honestly cant put into words how life changing this day was. TAKE A STAND, BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD!
