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:
Currently I am in the Future Graduate program. This program has students meet after school or during lunch once a month, to educate those students about what things are useful in order to be college competitive and college eligible. This program also teacher what degrees benefit you the most financially. The adults in charge keep in touch with the students with reminders in form of texts and the lunch meeting they provide. Besides the lunch and after-school meetings, they have summer academy. Which is where they have students from San mateo county group up in Skyline community college, to have longer, more in dept lessons about college details. They also host activities for all of the schools to do together.
I believe our biggest issue concerning youth in South San Francisco is the lack of effort or motivation to succeed in academics. I've notced that many students choose to not put effort into their classes. I believe that this affects other students (as well as teachers) if they were supposed to do group projects. Students will attempt to stay productive and on task while other will slack off and choose to not participate. It isn't fair to other students, and it will have those productive students at risk due to nonproductive student's ignorance.
