social change wheel

so in this blog were supposed to blog about this social change wheel we got in class this week. this wheel has 8 different parts on it that all deal with something different. there were 2 areas on this wheel that applied to me when i was in high school and they were direct service and community building. i represented direct service cause when i was in high school my coach was really about helping and being apart of the community so a couple a times a year we valied cars at different places for school events, public events and high class events, we also helped with actions and helped serve food at those actions. Another thing we did was during fourth of july and ragbri we set up a booth and sold pizza for Bills pizza and smokehouse. I also showed community building cause during the floods all of us wrestlers helped sandbag all day at random places for whoever needed it. the main place we always sandbagged though was dairy queen cause janelle rathbun the owner was my neighbor and a huge supporter of wrestling and she always gave us free blizzards for it and she loved us for helping her. with these to skills that i showed during high school i always wonder in the future when coach doyle leaves will they do the same thing? will they help out with the flood? and i always thing yes cause i belive we as wrestlers have left a lecacy kinda by just being there and helping people out in those bad times and here at wartburg i already feel that vibe just around town there always lookin at the wrestlers if were helpin move stuff or just runnin around town we have team on our shoulders so we always got to act our best.

  1. You do have an added burden being in the spotlight as part of the team. That puts pressure on but at the same time provides a forum to be a part of a greater community.
