Proposing the Problem

Many newcomers of Clarksville complain that there is not enough to do in the city. As I have lived in Clarksville, I have searched for opportunities as an artist and musician. Although I have discovered a few places for artists to present their work, I find that a small number of people possess knowledge of these galleries. As a high school student nearing graduation, I have been presented with many opportunities to thrive in science, social studies, and technology, but there have been less chances to excel in the arts category. I believe that everyone’s passion should be supported equally within the community. I believe this category has not been purposely neglected; people often times overlook fine arts because it

    Towson Town Center With the creation of the URDL in Baltimore County an issue and challenge for developers and planners was what are they going to develop with this new boundary. During the 1960’s and 70’s Towson (a town within Baltimore County) became a very popular residential area for people to move to after the invention of the automobile, which accelerated urban sprawl.

    Groups are something that we are all introduced to at a very young age. We learn how to work as a team and learn how to share with others.

One thing that I can say about being a part of the education field, everyone is deemed as team or as equal.…
