 LeBron James as a Changemaker. A changemaker is someone with the knowledge, talent, and resources to create positive changes in our society. Changemakers motivate others, problem-solve, and try to improve the quality of life for those around them. Modernly, one of the best known changemakers is arguably LeBron James. Many people recognize LeBron as being one of the top basketball players of all-time; however, his reach is much broader than basketball alone. Through education, community support, social activism, and philanthropic efforts, LeBron James has leveraged his successes to open doors for others and positively affected society. LeBron James was born in Akron, Ohio, on December 30th, 1984. LeBron grew up with numerous challenges. Some of these included having no steady income and a very unstable living situation. Despite the difficulties he experienced, LeBron continued to excel in basketball. As a result, he was one of the most highly anticipated high school athletes in his...

  For this project, I chose Cristiano Ronaldo because soccer has always been one of my biggest passions. I have followed the sport for many years, and as a Real Madrid fan, Ronaldo has always been one of my favorite players. Throughout his career, I watched him score incredible goals, break records, win championships, and become one of the greatest athletes in history. Because I already knew a lot about his accomplishments on the field, I thought this project would be easy. However, I quickly realized that there was much more to Cristiano Ronaldo than just soccer.

Most people know him because of his goals, trophies, Ballon d'Or awards, and success with clubs such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al Nassr. He is also ...

     Before these presentations, I thought of changemakers as people who became famous for doing something important. After listening to the presentations about the 1800s, 1900s, and 2000s, I realized that being a changemaker is much more than that. A changemaker is someone who stands up for what they believe in, even when it is difficult, and helps create opportunities for others. Learning about these individuals helped me understand how much courage it takes to challenge unfair systems and inspire change.      One person who stood out to me was Susan B. Anthony. It was interesting to learn about how hard women had to fight just to have a voice in government. Today, voting feels like a normal right, so it is easy to forget that women were once denied that opportunity. Susan B. Anthony spent years advocating for women's rights even when many people disagreed with her. It takes courage to speak out about a topic that so many people oppose you on and stand fi...
