Texas has many attractions, places and communities, but my community being sparkly clean is a dream that within another decade may happen. Living in the poorest community in the United States, you may think Brownsville is a place where trash is found in streets with light brown roads with so much dirt. You believe there are broken down buildings and moldy homes.
Honestly most of these assumptions where true about a few years ago. Of course now, Brownsville is growing and is industrializing. Great minds have helped my community become cleaner and more efficient. For example, the law where you have to use reusable bags to reduce the number of bags floating around in canals or rivers. The law has reduced the number of bags wondering around and has helped my community look cleaner. There’s many ways people are contributing to help out the community and make it a better and more suitable place. …show more content…
During this year’s football games, fans would leave bottles and trash all over the bleachers. A friend and I saw that an organization called, “Keep Brownsville Beautiful” wanted volunteers to pick up bottles we tried to encourage and told all our friends who needed community hours to come pick up plastic bottles. We made it a sort of fun gathering and about six to twelve friends would help out at least every home game.
Cleaning up the bleachers, looking at them clean, and spending time with friends made me realize that if we can get some friends to help out we can encourage a whole club. We gathered about three fourths of the members of HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) to volunteer during the games and help out. That experience led me into choosing AP Environmental science to see the problems we have in our world so in the near future I can find ways to make my community, this world a better and cleaner place to live
