Mind Map

When people come together to better the local communities they live in, the United States, in turn, will become a better place to live than ever before. By starting with community service in our local towns and cities, we can better the living standards and help our fellow Americans who are in need for assistance. Voting also has a profound effect on how successful a country can be. In a country who elects one person to be the voice of over 300 million people, voting is a pressing concern. When people are more informed of the situations happening in not only our country, but around the world, they can vote to elect the best person for the job. The United States is a powerful country who is run by the people living in it. Few other countries have this type of system and many in other countries often fight for their right to vote for the next leader of the country. In my own personal experiences, whether helping in soup kitchens, or packaging care packages for children in Ghana, I have realized that the work I am doing really does help people in need. If everyone donated an hour of their time a week to a local food shelter, or an equivalent service, the starving people on the streets of America would no longer go unfed. I believe that a true community is one that supports each other. A true community is made of people who continue to push you to reach your full potential and in return you help another person to better their life.
