I want the younger generations to be involve with the community and participate in volunteer programs that will benefit society. It is vital that one of today's issues involve Global warming, and we should create a method that will have a large influence, such as planting more tress under Bloomber's Going Green plan, or designing an architectural plan in building eco-friendly factories or buildings. As for the community, I want to be involve with going green plan; for the country, I want to prohibit smoking cigarettes in parks where children play; for the world, I want to stop companies from taking advantage of poor countries, such as promoting 1 cent an hour to work in factories.

The things I want to change in my community is to have more security near the subways or less congestion in the trains. I hope that America well send more back up aid to the countries that are suffering from poverty like Myanmar and Somalia. I hope that there will be more scholarships or funds for america's education.

By this year I want to develop my leadership skills so I can make certain changes in the community, country and the world. In my community I would like to see more policemen in the area, because of the numerous amount of burglaries that have been reported in my area. Also I would like for the MTA to make more buses available in my area because my community is very desolate from trains and stores, the closest store that it is our range is almost six blocks away. I also want to get in contact with local community center to suggest more programs for the elderly, I usually see them sitting down on park benches with out anywhere to go.

In this country, I want teens to know that their voice matters, they don't have to depend on adults to be the change that they want to see in the world. I want people of all ages to be aware of political events that are occurring and know that it only takes a second to contact a the office of councilman or call to report an injustice in your community and if something still doesn't get done you can continue to file a report and do something until it happens.

For the World I want us to really try and put a halt on the damage that we are doing to our planet, and recognize that we aren't leaving anything for our future generations. I also want the world to know that life is not measured in materialistic objects and our money could go forth to helping the unfortunate. Change isn't overnight it takes one person at a time, and anyone can be that person.

For my community, I would like to have more homeless shelters in place to assist the homeless especially during the winter. I would like for the buses to run on time so I could avoid getting up a half hour earlier. I would like the 96th Street Station to be completed. It has been very hectic on Broadway due to the large amount of construction and it has been a major contributor to the large amount of garbage which has accumulated.

For my country, I would like see more green programs in place to prevent further global warming and dramatic climate changes.

For the world, I would like to stop the use of nuclear weapons and develop a peace plan throughout the world.
