Dear Leah,<\/p>\n
Summer of 2017 will be the summer where you learn and experience a lot. Though you aren’t quite sure about what you want to do career wise, you know that you are very interested in public health and you expect the Detroit community Based Research\u00a0Program \u00a0(DCBRP) to help you gain experience in solving public health issues and to guide you in choosing a career. You expect this program to open your mind to problems in the community that you are unfamiliar with. You also expect to gain a new love for Detroit. Though you were born and raised in Detroit you still have much to learn about the city and you believe that this program will allow you to explore midtown and all parts of Detroit and help you to gain a better understanding of its history and current situation. \u00a0Through the DCBRP you hope to gain lifelong friends, nonprofit work experience, public health research, and a new and enlightened perspective of Detroit. You hope to have an amazing summer while giving back to the community of Detroit .<\/p>\n
In the DCBRP you work for the Osborne Neighborhood Alliance where you intend to use the little knowledge you have of health and environment to help solve issues in the Osborne community dealing with Feeder schools. You intend to get involved with the residents of the community in order to understand what they need and want and what is best for the community. You also intend to use your researching skills that you gained from UROP to learn more about feeder schools and public health problems \u00a0and to discover what you can do to help solve them.<\/p>\n
Your current perspective of Detroit is that Detroit is your hometown that you have watched grow and continue to grow all of your life. Detroit is a city with so much potential and you love the progress that you see though you acknowledge that more progress needs to be made in more important areas like education, housing, and crime prevention rather than just the downtown area for tourists. Yesterday you found out that one of your family’s favorite vegan restaurants in midtown was shutdown because the rent on the restaurant was raised (because of the popular location) and the restaurant owners weren’t able to afford the rent anymore. This made you upset because you loved that restaurant and it wasn’t fair for the owners to be priced out. Problems like this\u00a0suggests that not all changes\u00a0going on in Detroit is benefitting all of its people, especially the native detroiters. You are excited to see what your perspective will be at the end of the DCBRP!<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
