Nathan Dean

Nathan Dean

A 15 year-old student from California, Nathan shares a personal vision for his future: "I feel community is important and that while we move into the future we begin forgetting that.

I would make our communities more equal as a whole. Set the bar lower so that the working class is just the "norm" as well as have no more homeless. The equality and togetherness in the community is most important." View Nathan Dean's Vision »

John Phillips

John Phillips

A student from California, John shares his personal vision for his future: "I don't think people should mix up real life and virtual life. I chose this subject because it is ok if you want to play video games but you cannot make them your life. I was trying to state that video games should be played for fun, but if you're just going to play to ruin the game don't play because it's just wasting your time. I think it matters because there are people who play all the time and think they're actually in the game, and that's just a waste if you sit there and just play a game that's virtual."
