Advice on my essay

<p>One of my essay prompts for a summer program is
What is the greatest challenge facing the United States in the next decade? What will your role be in the solution? </p>

<p>I am planning on answering it with an essay about how apathy is so rampant in modern society. But, how in the world can I be part of the solution? And what would be a decent solution?
I want to write this essay, because I feel strongly about apathy. But I really don’t know how I would “fix” it. Advice, please?</p>

<p>Start small, make it achievable. </p>

<p>Remember: Obama was a Community Leader before he was a President.</p>
