### Title Slide **City: Montgomery, Alabama** **Name: [Your Name]** --- ### Character Slide **Character: Parent of 5 Children** As a parent of five children aged 5, 7, 10, 12, and 16, I am deeply concerned about the need for entertainment options in Montgomery. Living just three blocks from the proposed amusement park site, I recognize the potential benefits but also face a significant dilemma. Our family does not have a lot of extra money, and our kids struggle both socially and academically. While I understand that an amusement park can provide joy for families, I am conflicted about whether it is the right choice for our community at this time. --- ### Reason #1 Slide **Reason #1: Financial Constraints** One strong reason I do not support the amusement park is the financial burden it may place on my family and others like us. While some families may enjoy the park, entrance fees, food, and additional expenses can add up quickly. With my children already facing challenges at school, we need affordable recreational activities that do not strain our limited budget. An amusement park may increase our costs rather than provide an affordable escape for our kids. --- ### Reason #2 Slide **Reason #2: Social Challenges for My Children** Another reason I am hesitant about the amusement park is the potential for increased bullying and social challenges for my children. My kids already struggle at school, and I worry that an amusement park might become a source of more teasing rather than inclusion. If some families can afford to enjoy the park while others cannot, it could create a divide, potentially exacerbating the social issues they already face. --- ### Reason #3 Slide **Reason #3: Safety and Traffic Concerns** Lastly, with the park's close proximity to our home, I fear the safety and traffic issues it could bring. Increased visitors could mean congested streets and safety hazards, especially for my younger children. Additionally, more people in the area might lead to an uptick in noise and disturbances, impacting not only my family's quality of life but also that of neighbors who may desire peace and quiet. --- ### Conclusion/Summary Slide In conclusion, while I understand the potential benefits of an amusement park in Montgomery, I believe that the financial, social, and safety concerns I have as a parent outweigh those benefits. My priority is the well-being of my children and ensuring they grow up in a supportive and safe community. We need activities that cater to all families and foster a sense of belonging, not distractions that could potentially divide us further. --- ### Citation Slide - No specific links were included, as the opinions expressed are formed from personal experience and observations related to community dynamics and family needs. --- **Note**: Feel free to replace "[Your Name]" with your actual name and add any real citations you might have found or wish to reference.
