These changes will be accompanied by a higher level of education and better paying jobs. This puts Brownsville on the right track to a brighter future. I could definitely see myself living and working as a doctor in the Valley. I feel it would be an honor to work among family and friends. The Valley is a great place to raise a family and the only place I would ever call home.
Teenagers face many of the common pressures such as drinking and smoking.
I feel the only way to overcome this is through a good support system made up of family and friends. I have contributed many hours of volunteer work to the organizations that I am involved with. At this point in my life, I am interested in a good education that will later benefit my community.
