Follow-Up Questions
What change did you want to see on your campus, within your school culture, or community?
A change I would like to see within my campus is more student involvement in community volunteering. Only certain classes require hours for volunteering. I believe that if volunteer opportunities were shared in the announcements, more students would be aware and volunteer. Another way we could get more student involvement is through Superfan. By volunteering and checking in, you could get Superfan points!
How do you want to change the world today?
I want to change the stigma behind being homeless. Many are not properly educated on how easy it is to become homeless due to our economy. Getting a job is not easy when you don’t have the proper resources to apply. People also don’t consider transportation and how much gas cost. I wish big cities would create solutions such as turning vacant buildings into shelters. Instead of investing money into architect that is not homeless friendly (for example: benches with bumps), they should invest into mental health resources and shelters.
What difference do you want to make before it is your time to move on and leave the tribe?
I want to be in charge and create a group at the high school where we focus on helping the homeless. I want to be able to educate others about the poverty that is happening right in front of us. I would also be in charge in setting up donation drives and distributing the items.
What is the ripple effect and/or transformation you wish to create within the boundaries where you live?
Many people in Ripon live in a bubble and don’t see the poverty around them. Just in the next town over, there are big homeless camps that many do not know about. Many people also choose to ignore and believe stereotypes about being homeless. I want to break down barriers and impact my community to change their views on the homeless.
