Changes in Chicago

Since the world is so large, 

I think it's best to focus on our own surroundings.

As an individual I don't have the automatic power to change

the world at once

but what I can focus on is the city that I have lived in all my life

Chicago.

What I would like to change is 

the number of homeless people begging for change at every intersection,

the number of Chicago Public  High School seniors who graduate college , 

the number of pot holes on the streets,

the health care provided to the poor, 

the after school programs made available to the minority children of the South side,

an equal opportunity for every citizen to become employed.

I'd like these changes to happen,

that way Chicago can become a model city for all.

If homeless people were taken of the streets and employed,

crime rates might fall and neighborhoods would flourish.

If the majority instead of the minority of 

Chicago Public High School students graduated college

then this younger generation would face open doors of opportunity. 

If the pot holes were patched up, then maybe the city itself would patch up:

Providing health care to those who need it most

and keeping children safe after school in the South side neighborhoods.

I think that if everyone was to work together

from members of the school council

to the alderman of each district

to the mayor himself

then great changes would be seen upon the streets of

Chicago.
