6. How have you tried to effect change in relation to an issue of personal, local, or national significance? 


Recently i went to clean up the tijuana estuary of liter and this was personal, local, and national significance. This would be personal because it helped me achieving my community service goal, local because i helped my local community clean up the estuary and national because the junk we picked up from the estuary will not end up in the ocean and will not harm the sea life world wide. The trash shown to the right will sooner or later enter the sea and harm our sea life. This was also a fun experience because we worked as a team to get rid of junk and everyone else was having a good time. I also did this for personal change for peace of mind; i like to think that i made a difference in our world. This helped my local community because surfers and people who use the beach often will not see tall the trash that goes out into the sea when it rains. This also helps our ecosystem because all this trash harms the fish and other sea life who live in the sea and less sea-life means less reproduction which ultimately means less sea life.
