As a student in a small town, nestled in the Midwest, life is relatively good. A good community, strong ethics and values, and a humbling sense that your education is top grade. "You get out of it, what you put into it," is the classic teacher to student speech regardless of where you are in the United States.

All of the issues with the economy is really worrying me about my future.

Am I safe? That I don't know, anymore. When I was younger, I would go outside, and play with my friends after school, and not have to worry at all about the security of our nation, nor did I really care at the time. But now, being a first time voter in the new election year, the simple question that I always took for granted seems much more complex.

We have many things to discuss. Our economy is in a bad state at the moment, and we have many other problems to deal with. We have an enormous debt of 9 trillion dollars and it's growing every day at a rapid pace, due to the fact that we are over in the Middle East fighting. If we don't figure out how to fix our problems with our economy or any of the other many problems we have, our country will begin to decline in power, which will put us in danger of being taken over by a different country.

I'm only one person, but my voice can still be heard. I'm only going to discuss with you a few problems that are going on in our world today. So hear me out with some of these things. Many of the students whose essays you are reading, probably feel the same way. I'll be sharing with you about abortion, illegal immigration, and education mixed in with some gas prices.

Education is important and if the youth today really are the future then we need to have a great education.Also abortion is an increasing issue nd it needs to be baned.Poverty is an issue that is not being looked at we need to take it seriously.

Most if not all of the various situation going on currently in the in the United States should be or have to be dealt with as soon as possible. One of the main situations that is at hand and costing us much money is the current war going on in Iraq we been there since 2002, I notice the drastic change in their government and the many improvements in their country but doing that we have put ourselves in a deeper hole. Also the other problem is the one that is taking place right at home and that is the health care issue that is taking its toll on most of the American families. Thirdly the cost of education has sky rocketed, its more money to further your education to a college level and then in the lower level schools. We can't even provide enough materials to support their educational needs.

This letter is directed to Barrack Obama about the issues that I think most effect the American people. The issues that I chose were Education prices,Health Care affordibility and Gay Rights. These issues are disscussed throughout my letter with many supporting details and statistics. I have concluded with solutions that I hope will be taken into consideration and applied.

These are the things that disturb me the most. Too many women get abortions. Being gay is your own right no one should be able to change that. We need to fix our education system as soon as possible.

In my essay i discuss the environment,education and poverty. I state different ways to improve upon these issues.
