Narottam Vivek South San Francisco California 94080 9th Grade Freshman San Francisco University Hi I want to be a part of the Youth Commission because the Youth Commission allows me to raise my voice on the various things affecting this city. Personally, I love this city. South San Francisco has been my home for 14 years and I want to leave it better than I was raised into it.

2 SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE
Please list school and community activities or service organizations in which you are involved in.
The Youth Commission addresses issues affecting youth and the community through making recommendations to City Council. Please explain what you believe is the biggest issue concerning youth in South San Francisco today.
Can you commit to attending 6:30 p.m. meetings on the third Monday of each month? YES NO If no, please explain:
I have participated in many events of service and many school activities. For service, I was a part of the food drive in San Francisco that delivers food to the homeless in San Francisco, I am a part of Rise of Hunger which makes 10,000 meals and delivers them to underdeveloped countries, and I also help out public schools that are understaffed and need help. For School activities, I play basketball, cross country, and soccer. I am also a part of my school band, and I am a part of many clubs including AAPI and MENASA.
I believe one of the biggest issues affecting the youth today in South San Francisco is the lack of schools. South San Francisco is building many apartment complexes which entails there will be more people living in South San Francisco. With these new apartment complexes being built where will the youth go to school? The youth is unfortunately either going to school outside of South San Francisco or they go to the overcrowded schools. And going to an overcrowded school means there will be less one on one attention and most likely poorer test results. With the many people who are coming to live in this city, we need more schools and this is by far one of the biggest problems facing the youth.
