Getting Uncomfortable

I have always tried to stand up for others when they are being mistreated, which often leads to being put in uncomfortable positions. When I attended public school, I often stood up to other students when they would say things about my friends. It unfortunately never fixed how they treated us, but it did influence others to stand up. I have also participated in one movement; however, it was about climate change. One of my friends and I were very passionate about climate change. We attended strikes and even started a club in our town that focused on climate change. We tried to educate others about climate change and do activities that encourage conservation. I hope that in the future I will be able to continue to stand for others despite how uncomfortable it can be at first.
