Part 5: Not Deterred


In “Not Deterred”, author Paxus Calta-Star discusses a student named Polina, who is an 18-year-old activist in Bulgaria. Polina is not deterred in pressuring the government to change its unfair policies towards its citizens. At the end of this section, Polina succeeds in protesting the government and helping create a democracy for her people.

This relates to Involvement and Impact. If we can show our residents that every student at CMU can have an impact in the community in some way, our residents will participate in activities and make the campus a better place. It is important to act as role models and show them that although immediate results may not come with everything they try, it is important to not give up.
