Something in the world I'd like to change: The way we exploit the most innocent beings on our planet. We use the fact that people in poor countries need some sort of income to exploit them. They are given horribly dangerous jobs and low wages. We exploit animals' inability to speak and take their rights away from them. We eat them (and their by-products), wear them and use them for entertainment.

Best thing about high school: You get the opportunity to grow and change along with a group of people in your community
