Personal is Political
I want to do a “Free-ranging” approach where I maybe tell a few different stories. One would be to write about a friend of mine who is a non-citizen/immigrant who had issues with applying for health insurance. She has several kids, and figuring out the insurance allowed her to help heal her sick children. My other idea would be to write about my time volunteering in Guatemala and what I learned about serving others.
Civic Issues
The civic issue I would like to focus on would be access to healthcare or education for women in other countries.
These ideas both sound solid, and could likely be easily developed to be quite interesting stories. I look forward to reading them (if we are in a group).
