WHO: Although this is a widespread and in depth unmet need globally, I was still able to find five people who do not have this unmet need. All of my interviewees are however aware of this unmet need in a lack of enough education funding for public schools in order to provide students with adequate learning opportunities and resources. My first interviewee is my academic adviser for the athletic department here at UF. Although he doesn't directly have this unmet need, he believes that there is an imbalance between schools and students in learning abilities to allow kids to reach their fullest academic potential. As a part of the athletic academic center himself, he is aware of how the many available resources positively affect his student -athletes' academic performance. My second and fourth interviewees are students here at UF that are provided with more than enough resources in order to be supported academically. They said although they are students just like those at poorly funded public schools, they agreed that their education opportunities are much better and more efficient than those who are not lucky enough to have the resources they do. My third and fifth interviewees are parents of students who attend UF. They emphasized their priority in making sure their children have resources in order to become successful academically and recognize the importance of encouraging more public school funding in order to set young generations up for success like they do their own kids.


WHAT:  All of my interviewees believe this unmet need would be much more difficult to find a proper solution to that would completely solve the lack of funding for public schools in the US, however the effort put forth in this opportunity will make a big difference. They believe the solution to this is much more complex than that of many other opportunities, thus making it much more important to emphasize the development of solutions in order to stop from this unmet need worsening.


WHY: The underlying cause of my outsider interviewees needs' vary slightly from those who are in the boundary. Although they are indirect prototypes of this unmet need, an improvement in this opportunity could potentially result in an enhanced opportunity for each of my interviewees and society in the U.S. as a whole.

	Inside the Boundary	Outside the Boundary
Who	-People who work at poorly funded public schools: Teachers Faculty Counselors Other staff members -Students who attend poorly funded public schools -Parents of students who attend poorly public schools	-Students in the US that have adequate resources at their public schools -Parents of students who attend adequately funded public schools -Staff would work at adequately funded public schools
What	-Give equal learning opportunities to students across the US -Allow teachers and other faculty to maximize their ability to work/teach students without limitations -Adequate resources for staff and students at poorly funded public schools	-Create organizations to help fund and raise money for poorly funded schools -Have to move towns or cities in order to be in the district of a school with adequate resources available.
Why	-Not enough funding dedicated to education  in the US -Hard to distribute  money equally throughout schools in the US	-Sets a higher educational standard for the US. -Creates more opportunities -Better education system for future generations, setting them up to be successful
