My project includes children outside of the 21st Century program club of "Student Gova’" that I facilitate. Inside the program I help the 8th grade students with life problems that include abuse of alcohol and/or drugs, which their friends are doing, to helping the community be less violent and more together. They were taught how to work with younger children and assist them in doing homework. The Student Gova’ students also help clean up the surrounding community to be a much presentable and more cleanly environment for people to enjoy.

I chose the "education" topic as my cause because that is precisely what I was struggling for. As an out-spoken student activist, I defended proper practices in the university environment. At Ohio University-- as well as countless other universities and colleges around the country-- the system is so extremely "top-down" that the students have absolutely no control over their education, the environment in which they live, decisions which are made on their behalf, as well as processes that are completed behind closed doors by administrators and trustees.
