Description: The ACES Pillars Film Project is a group project that we did on a movie that displayed the ACES Pillars which are positive social change, advocacy, community, and service. My group watched the movie Girl Rising. This movie followed 9 different girls as they overcame adversity to get education in various countries.
Reflection: The ACES Pillars Film Project was a really great way to truly understand the ACES pillars. I also think that the movie was really important to me because reinforced why I wanted to join ACES in the first place. I became really emotional when watching this movie I learned that many young girls face struggles around the world with education, child marriage, sexual assault, and many other things. For my next steps, I want to be able to help girls get the education that they need. As someone who plans to be a teacher, this movie made me more aware of the possible struggles that students can face. While these may be different in countries like Haiti, Cambodia, Peru, and India than United States, I still should be making sure that all of my students are getting the education that they need and the care they need at home.
