Primary and Secondary Research/Sources
Primary and Secondary research sources are mutually beneficial to college students because they allow them to get a wide variety of information. You can use the usual book or internet to get information, but what about a scholarly journal. You could find extra information that maybe would not be show on the internet. This could make your paper stand out.
Change
Any one person can effect change. You just have to be passionate about it and engage yourself. You have to act on something that you see needs a change. You can change someone's life by doing something little, or big.
An example from the book Outcasts United would be that the main character Luma saw something that needed change. She saw that boys from war torn countries need something to look forward to. They moved to the United States and were very poor. She saw that she had more than what she needed and decided to help them. She started a soccer team and helped them do better in school. She also helped their families by starting a company that the boys' mothers could work at.
You don't have to do something as big as Luma to make change. All you have to do is start. Start somewhere.

community engagement
I believe community engagement is very import, but I do not do as much of it as I should. I see community engagement as doing things for others, without pay, to help someone. This could be anywhere between volunteering and Rivers and Spires for the kids zone, and donating food for a homeless shelter.
When i do a community engagement project it usually has something to do with helping children or someone who is need of food or shelter. I like donating supplies, food, clothing, and all kinds of things because I know that I have more than what I need when others are suffering. Sometimes I will donate money to organizations that are trying to fund diseases for children. I only reason why I say sometimes is because I am not actually sure if my money is going toward the need that is said.
I feel like if you have more than what you need, you should help your community to support those that do not have enough.
