The Community

In one of my classes we are assigned a project to go out into the community and find a problem. When we find the problem we need to make a small documentary about the people that try to help that problem and the people that don't and other stuff to help raise awareness about the problem.
As soon as we got the assignment several things popped into my head. Well topics for my documentary anyway:
-Bullying in school
-Homelessness
-School needs

These topics are relevant to me and the community. I have been subjected to bullying, I see the homeless people everyday because of where I go to school. And there is an elementary school that is in there Second year here where I live and they are in desperate need of supplies. Its Cloverleaf Elementary (Google it) and at my school they have started a drive to collect supplies for that school.
There are so many things that need to be fixed in the world all they need is people to try and get them fixed. And there are many ways to do that, I encourage people to go out into the world and find a problem and try and fix it. And I want you to get back on me when you see a problem that needs fixing.
Don't just sit back let the world revolve around you, get up and do something.
