So, I know this is a little late, considering I experienced the Tunnel before Thanksgiving break. But being caught up in a thousand different things takes a toll on a now-nineteen year old, and so my poor blog fell to the wayside for a week, quite unfortunately. But, moving on to the important stuff!
The Tunnel was definitely an experience that I urged people to attend after I left. It was very impacting, and it absolutely provoked some very large thoughts in my mind, as well as in the minds of the other girls I went through with.
My two favorite rooms, without a doubt, were the "Picture Room" as everyone referred to it, which was the room that was covered in pictures of issues that affect girls and women in society today, and the "Glass Ceiling Room" which our very own peer mentor, Casey, worked diligently on (and did a fabulous job, if I may say so myself!). These two rooms were the favorites of everyone in my group I think, but that just might be coincidental, since all the girls in my group were all in this Women in Leadership class with me, and so everything kind of hit us a little harder, and everything held a little more meaning to us. At least in those two rooms.
Next year, I absolutely plan on being involved in this great project. It is eye-opening, and afterward, Amritha, Bailey and I determined that we are going to change the world, and host world summits to discuss these issues, and find resolutions to these problems. You left the Tunnel feeling empowered. You want to change the world, you want to make a conscious, verbal, and physical effort to be the change you want to see in the world.
