The Problem

I organized a group of kids to help improve our community. I wanted to use this as a way to create better leadership qualities in the younger generation of our community. We planted beautiful plants and picked up trash along the highways. We call freshman greenhands, so all of the students involved were freshman. I knew that creating this, would give the kids in our community something good to keep them busy and off of the streets. We repainted the park equipment, and visited the older members of the community, with a pancake breakfast.
