There should be a program where people help the elders of the community. I think there should also be a program to clean up the community.

What could you do about it?

I would try and visit my elders. I think that they like it when you visit them and help them out. I think I would also take a day out of a month to clean up on the sides of the road.

Do you agree that helping needy people is an important part of being a good citizen?

I believe that helping the needy people in very important to being a good citizen.

Why or why not?

I think it is important because the needy people need a lot of help. The usually need food and clothes, things that citizens can provide for the needy. I think that every good citizen should send something to the needy people.

What are some of the things in your community that need improving? i think that the yards and houses need better keeping up with. the yards are so big that people just let them go.

What could you do about it? i could cut grass and fix loose objects around the house.

Do you agree that helping needy people is an important part of being a good citizen? yes. but only if they are willing to try and help themselves.

Why or why not? if they are not willing to do something about it or try to help if they can, then why should i do work that they are just to lazy to do. if you do that you are not helping the needy, you are do the work for someone that doesn't really need your help.

The sides of the road always have trash on them. This community could make a day where people clean up the roads or around buildings where people go in. helping a needy person is a good part of being a good citizen because it shows you have good character. In return they might help you one day.

What are some of the things in your community that need improving?
I think something that need to be improved are some peoples attitude. I also think that we need to have more fun in school. Learning is the main priority but Oak Grove used to be ALOT of fun. And now we barely do anything.
And more cops need to watch the truckers that speed.

What could you do about it?
Well atitudes could change by everyone treating others with respect. And the way they treat you. Having fun nothing really because Mr.Pruden is up to that. And we could write a letter to the cops or tell them or something and let them know that they need to watch those trucks.

Do you agree that helping needy people is an important part of being a good citizen? Yes. Thats why we have food drives.

Why or why not? Because I think when someone is in need everyone should come together to help that individual out.

Help the people clean them up.

Do you agree that helping needy people is an important part of being a good citizen?

Why or why not?
Yes I do because if you don't help them that makes you look like a bad person. But you don't need to give them money it would be best to offer to get them some food. Because half of them want you to help them buy them drugs.

Why or why not? Well becasue it makes you feel better about your self. And you know your doing the right thing by helping others. And also you have to stop and think. If this was you and you were in those people shoes, and they were in yours. You would want them to give to you. So dont ever be greddy becasue you never do know when it could be you one of those days.

There's been a lot of break-ins in my neigborhood. There's a few houses that look absolutely disgusting on the outside (and inside). Just lazy people.

What could you do about it?
There's not being anything done about the break-ins even though we all know who's doing them. And about the house thing... I can't really do anything about that.

Do you agree that helping needy people is an important part of being a good citizen?
Yes, but you need to make sure they really are needy and they just don't look that way. They could just be really lazy and unwilling to make things look halfway decent.

Why or why not?
Because they need it! It's the right thing to do, even if you're not even trying to be a good citizen.

There is nothing big that needs inproving. The only thing I can think of is the trash. People liter way too much. I can pick up big things I see, and also make sure I never liter.

It really depends on why that person is needy. If they are on drugs then no. But if other reasons then maybe yes.It all really depends on the matter.

Thge thing that needs to be improved in my community is the security, because we have had alot of break ins. Last week my aunts car was stolen out of her own yard.

What could you do about it. I could argue with the police about the security. So that they could do something about it. EX: they can put up some 24 hour servalence cameras from the telephone pole and hook the wires so they can see who and what goes in and out of the community.

Do you agree that helping needy people is an important part of being a good citizen? Yes, I do because it is the right thing to do because what if an elderly lady waas walking and she could't reach the things on the shelves or needed help with the yard being cut or the rosebushes need to be trimmed. And plus would'nt you want somebody to help your elderly parents when they needed help around the house or in the stores.

There are a number of things in my community that I think would be worth improving. My town’s park tennis court needs to repaved, and the playground equipment could use a new coat of paint.
I could organize a fund raiser and sell Support West Jefferson pins in order raise the money needed to repave the tennis court, and then I could organize a group of people and we could all go in and clean up and paint the old playground equipment.
Yes, I do believe that helping needy people is an important part of being a good citizen.
Because being a good citizen is showing that you care, and by helping the people in your community that need a little extra help is being a good citizen.
