Macro to Micro

Look at the three topics. Some may be global or even national in scale. We need the issue to be much more local than that! School, town, county, or even state! Questions to ask yourself as you make your final decision.

  • Which topic best fits a school issue or problem? Town you live in? County? State? Answer each one! They could overlap too! (Which may help you make your final decision!)
  • Which issue has the most need to fix in one or all of these communities?
  • Which issue do you feel you can speak both logically and passionately about?
