Bio

Heyya.
My Name is Keenan, and I love helping the environment in many ways. Im also for lowering the voting age. If voting isnt denied to senile or physcho people, then why deny the right to teenagers. I'm very concerned about the eduacation in my area. The teachers are excellent, so theres no problem there, but there is serious overcrowding. Most of Our local schools were built in the 1960's and arent big enough nor sanitary. In my opinion the state is not putting enough money into schools. Instead of adding onto the schools, they keep bringing in trailers that look very unprofessional. One middle school got completeley renovated when it didnt even need it near as bad as the other middle school. West Virginia, Where I Live, has one of the lowest teacher incomes in the nation. Its sad that our state leaders arent concerned about their kids futures. So that is where most of my concern is, and thats mainly what i want to form a group around.

Thanks

Hey Keenan!! Have you heard about the Summit? I know that you wanted to started a venture a while back to help fix up your school. Did that ever gain momentum? You should consider going to the Summit. You might find some really great venturers or people who have not started one yet who'd like to work with you on this project! Here's a link to more info:

Make sure you take a look at it! I'll be on vacation starting tomorrow, but if you have questions about it, ask Kristin. :-)

Hey there, hows your venture going? And by the way, you remember how I told you about 4204? The 51% majority to pass educational laws law? Yeah, it failed in the election, which is unfortunate.
