The challenge is going well. I found the last week more difficult as I had been doing long hours in the library with assignments and was tired. When I would go to the shops to get lunch I would get annoyed cause I would only have a small amount of options to get and the pasta meals with the meat looked nice, which was very tempting. Although I stayed strong and I got through it and treated myself to pizza when I had finished my assignments.
I have stood up for myself on different topics which have affected me. I stood up for myself as I wanted to let people know that what they were saying was not correct and how what they were saying can impact people. Sometimes people have joined in or they might say they agree with me and support me. There has also been times were I haven’t spoken up when I would’ve wanted to. I may have decided not to for safety reasons or if I thought it wasn’t going to have much affect. I know now that speaking up no matter how much you do can still have an impact. As it may allow someone to come up and ask you more about the topic or allow people to start thinking more about something they may not have ever thought about before.
