Community Engagement, Student Loans, Reading: Young people should focus on community involvement, seek clarity on student loan repayment, and prioritize reading for personal growth and health benefits
Young people are being encouraged to focus on their communities and not just the candidates during elections. Jamila Woods, a local musician and poet, emphasized this during the InduAction 2024 event at the Democratic National Convention. Meanwhile, the uncertainty surrounding student loan repayment plans is causing anxiety for borrowers like Chicago's Jesus Ayala Jr. The mental and physical health benefits of reading are well-documented, but the number of children reading for enjoyment has decreased in recent years. In summary, it's crucial for young people to engage with their communities and prioritize their needs, borrowers need clarity on their loan repayment plans, and reading remains an essential activity for maintaining good health.
