For my environmental research project for the ELEA course this semester I have been measuring and seeking to understand the health issues that are effecting thousands of 9/11 rescue and recovery workers. The primary source of research for my project was acquired through various interviews and interactions. I have always wondered why there has been a lack of resolve and advocacy regarding the health issues that are plaguing thousands of Ground Zero workers and those who chose to remain in the surrounding area. This is a prominent and ongoing issue that needs a great deal of attention and deserves an even greater amount of action. I hope to achieve further recognition and advocacy for the 9/11 rescue workers and others exposed to the toxic aftermath. The connections I have made and opportunities I have experienced throughout my research have also served as a motivating force, pushing me on through various difficulties. This is an issue that everyone should be made aware of, as it is our responsibility to assist the forgotten heroes of 9/11 and New York. ELEA has encouraged and supported all of my endeavors in researching such an emotional and difficult environmental issues.
Through the ups and downs of my research, ELEA has provided me with challenges and opportunities that have a shaped and developed me into a better leader.
I would like to continue to develop my skills and role as a leader. There is no end to one’s development as a leader. Throughout life one faces a plethora of challenges and it is made of those challenges that allows one to continue to develop into a great leader.
As a follow-up to my research in ELEA, I plan to continue my involvement with the FealGood foundation, continue my advocacy on behalf of the 9/11 Rescue and Recovery workers and keep up contact with the 9/11 Rescue and Recovery workers I have already established bonds with. I will do this by continuing to go down to Washington, D.C. and all other events hosted and organized by the FealGood Foundation.
