Issues in the St. Louis Area

The three things I think I am most interested in after reading this list involve animals, kids, and education. I love animals and there are many places that house animals that need help cleaning, or walking, or caring for the animals that live there. For example, the humane society always needs people to donate things or play with the animals that are living there. It is important to make sure these animals are living in a good home so they are not roaming the streets and making messes or disturbing people who are living in the area. There were also multiple organizations that help children which I found interesting. When you help orphaned children or foster children to be better adapted socially they will have a better chance to be more successful later in life and will have a better life as they grow older because they are able to support themselves. It is really sad to hear about children that live in broken homes or do not have parents or who have parents who can't support them and give them good lives. Kind of hand in hand with children is education. There are multiple organizations, such as College Bound or Beginning Babies With Books, that help children get a better education than they may get without further help. Because I have had the chance to get a good education, I know how important it is, and I feel like everyone should have that opportunity as well.
