5. • One of the civic issues facing my community is that there are
not enough community leaders. There are community
newspapers that promote volunteerism but it’s still a struggle
get people out to support. There is a lack of knowledge within
the community concerning there own issues.
• The local government needs to do a better job of relating to
the citizens in as far as introducing new businesses within
the community and the continuing growth of the current
businesses.

6. • I think that this program chose me because it was
the right time in my life to do something different. I
want to change my perception of how the world
works as far as leadership and business.
• I also look to improve my skills as far as the
teamwork aspect of the program goes. There will be
many opportunities to build on working as a team
and solving problems with excellent solutions.
