One issues I would like to go over would be children's mental health. Sometimes we expect a lot from tiny humans but never stop to think how they are taking everything in. The world is truly a scary place and if we do not help with fixing this issue it could affect their life drastically and could even end up in a negative consequence. This ties up with SDGs as it goes with good health and well-being.

Men have the highest suicide rates and society continues to push the idea that they must be strong not vulnerable. I think one day we will reach a generation that fully nurtures men but right now that is not happening, and some are suffering. I think this can relate to multiple SDGs including Good Health and Well-Being and Gender Equality.

The main issue I want to address in my community is Lack of education. I believe that all should have a great education and that education should be taken very seriously. Education is put in place for students and adults to learn and be prepared for the real world. I believe a goal that would be good for my community is to form more after school programs and to do more night school.

The main issue i want to address in community is poverty. It feels like going down the road in my city there is someone that is homeless or run down messy neighborhoods. It has became so bad recently that I stumbled across an article that we are now ranked number 4 in most violent cities in the country. I believe this is because with poverty it becomes desperate times for desperate measures.

One of the problems I see is hunger. I try to volunteer in food drives as often as possible, but at the same time many people assume the hungry are that way because it is their own fault instead of wanting to help them.

One of the main issues in my local community is poverty. My home city is known for having an abundant amount of people under the poverty line. I have seen my friends have no lunch for week, or wear the same clothes every other day. It is because there are a lack of jobs in my area and many places closed down, which affects whole familys.

I think a compelling social problem I want to address in my local community is poverty. Many people do not have enough money to provide for their families and pay their bills. This also affects children by maybe not having enough clothes to wear to school. This is related to sustainable developmental goals since it will require people to come together to try and find a solution to poverty.

One of the issues that I would like to address in my local community is POVERTY. I think that poverty is a major issue in many communities, and it needs to be fixed. I feel like we could be doing a little bit more to benefit people who suffer from not having as much as others. I think everyone should have a fair life, opportunity, and education but unfortunately that is not the world that we live in. I want to give the people who may not have a chance a chance because they it shouldn't be a situation where they have to be successful by chance, but they should have had that opportunity to begin with. I guess speaking as a primary source to this issue it is important to go out in this world and make a difference. I think we have to tackle these issues in numbers because one person can't do this by themselves, but we need to bring attention to this issue that seems to get pushed under the rug.

Something that always comes to mind when I hear global issues is Poverty " Poverty is the state of having few material possessions or little income. Poverty can have diverse social, economic, and political causes and effects" I just feel like with all the resources we have and money that comes in there is no way that this should still be a problem like how can all these resources be available and still some people have none so we aren't helping the right people.

Clean water and sanitation are something that I would love to focus on. I never saw this being an issue in my local community until it was! Just a few weeks ago I woke up and none of the plumbing in my house was working. I spoke with one of my neighbors and she was having the same problem. Turns out the City of Albemarle had accidentally busted a main pipeline and our entire neighborhood was out of working water. This meant no shower, I couldn't wash my dishes, and most importantly NO morning coffee!! When the water was finally working again it came out brown? Then PURPLE! I never thought that access to clean water would be an issue I had in my local community but it was. This just goes to show that this can happen to anyone anywhere and it is an issue that needs attention.

Something that I notice a lot of in my community is poverty. I see so often people sitting on the side of the road and asking people if they have any change they can spare just so they can buy them something to eat. I think it would be a good goal for my community to build more shelters and places where they could come and have meals provided for them.

Zero Hunger is a problem I want to address in my community. Worldwide there are so many people suffering from hunger. I feel like the community should come together and make more of an effort to help people who are suffering.

Learning does not just happen in schools. People are learning all the time so encouraging students to learn and think outside of school is great. Learning does not stop.

I have tutored English language reading for a few years now. Many of the students can speak English well, but they can't read it as well. Being able to read it better allows for the kids to succeed more in school and their parents to aim for higher achieving jobs. Along with this, they also tell me it just makes daily life easier. I would love if they could rely on their native languages, however.

I have noticed the racial prejudice present in my community. I have listened and heard of incidences of racial injustice and inequity. I want to educate my future students so that they feel compelled to reduce these inequities in my community.

Coho and king salmon have great historical, cultural, and economic significance in our area. Students could help restore their habitat.

Most of my students and their families believe that education is something that only happens at school and ends when a student graduates. I want to show my students that they can self-educate through MOOCs, YouTube, and local facilities like museums and libraries. Lifelong learning should be a reality for all, not a platitude for the already-well educated.
