CCOL Youth Action Media

-next step for me is art i will be attending a internship at SAIC

- The next step is Music and Development, I want to become more experienced in creating a real movement with the help of others.

By being a CCOL leader I have learned that the perfect team has a diverse body of players. My CCOL team is composed of poets, film-makers, debaters, photographers, activists, artists, athletes, and singers. All of our talents contribute to us being a very successful council. My passport experiences impact the most. At the council meetings we shared our experiences and the cool places we went. It was neat to discover the passions of my peers and to see their awesome work that they created. I will always remember and cherish my council members and our coordinators, AJ & Brother Mike, all of them are truly awesome people who I plan on collaborating with in the future. The next step for me is to continue to be apart of the Chicago city of learning experience through volunteering.

Ive learned how to work with other people to coexist for one common goal. Ive also learned about badges. It impacted me a lot to find other people with interesting connections. I will always remember the meetings and destination Chicago. The next step is having CCOL broadcast everywhere.

For me the next thing is to go to Nicaragua with a program called BuildOn, and build a school with other teen leaders.

I think the impact that I've had on others is what has had the biggest impact on me. I never knew that a team could reach out and touch so many people with opportunity and sheer will-power 

I believe That the future of learning is youth. I feel that youth will change the definition of learn to more hands on and work referenced ideals .  

I've learned that it feels amazing to see all our hard work pay off and to feel like an active participate in the community. What impacted me most was getting to know everyone in my council and getting close to them and I will always remember the relationships I made. Next for me this summer i'm heading to N.O.L.A with the rustic pathways program on a community service trip.

Being in the CCOL Youth Council, I've learned to speak out more and share my ideas in a group. I really liked being part of this council because it showed me that no opinion or idea is dumb, and also that every opinion counts whether it be good or bad. What impacted me the most would be that we were able to accomplish many things and also promoting our group in a "short" period of time. What I will always remember is that we all worked together. There are more things that are next and we hope to keep doing what we're doing and getting more people to join our cause.

With my time at CCOL I learned to work with others and how to to handle a big event. My co-workers were the most impactful on me they've shown me things that I may have know about otherwise and showed me a different side of Chicago youth. I will truly miss them except Ira I will see him after CCOL. I will always remember the good times we had especially the selfie video which was very fun. I will also remember the great connections I've made here. And now that's over I don't know what will happen next.

I believe that learning is important because without it obviously we wouldn't have the knowledge we have. There are many possibilities that the future of learning will be much bigger. There would be more opportunities open for students to be involved and interested in what they want to do. This will also help THEM in the future to be glad that they took advantage of anything that was given to them. 

Hiya Tumblr.! My name is Ira Jeter. I am a sophomore at Julian High School. I enjoy making music and writing stories. The future of learning holds many possibilities. I believe that if something is worth attempting, its worth following through.

I believe that the future of learning is bright because we are putting learning in the hands of youth and all that is scarce is in youth.
