Civic Engagement Oppourtunity

This past week i realized that my " Be The Change " project is going to be about (At Risk Boston Students) who need extra curricular activities to  keep themselves occupied while participating in self Construction rather than carrying on the violence and delinquency in Boston massachussettes


An opportunity i came across was the Brighton High School JROTC drill team, JROTC is a program in high school to motivate young people to become better citizens and graduate high school, as a former cadet i would know first hand how self improving this program is, the Drill team is one of the school extra curriculars that help students stay after and actually learn techniques that could help them , i was apart of the Unarmed Exhibition Team which placed 1st in the North Eastern Brigade and most of the cadets on that team were from urban parts of boston were gun violence and death was of a common sort, i believe that helping with this years drill team and making sure that the cadets stay commited could actually help them improve themselves, and possibly motives their friends and friends of their friends to become more active on a school team, i am not trying to save the city, just help make it a little better
