Generally, they want to see you do something that makes you into a more caring, concerned citizen of the world….or at least your community. Perhaps a topic like: establishing a community skateboard park – or if you already have a park – extending the park, getting more kids to use it.

You could address the topic with a community meeting and take ideas, get skateboarders together to dream up some alternatives, take your ideas back to the city, work on a plan towards something, try to get community leaders on board, and maybe get something through your city council to support it.

This is exactly what one student did for a senior project in our community – and 10 years later, the park is still there, is still used, and everyone is happy. He got it built in 6 months – and the community agrees if it was not for the students, we’d still be studying the idea.

This type of project shows how you grow as a person, and bridges the gap from student to community member.

Good luck
