Explanation:

This is a script outline for a radio feature focused on a change-maker's origin story. Using the provided prompts and sentence starters, we craft a narrative that fits the 45-60 second time frame, covering the moment the problem was noticed, the push to act, and the transition from concern to action, with supporting detail to show personal investment.

Answer:

"The change-maker first noticed this issue when she volunteered at a local food bank and saw kids skipping meals because they were embarrassed to take free food in front of peers. In response to this issue, Maria decided to act. After seeing a 10-year-old hide a half-eaten granola bar in her backpack to save for her little sister, they realized silence around food insecurity was letting kids suffer needlessly. She started asking families about their fears, learned shame was keeping 30% of eligible kids from pantry access, and knew she had to use kind, direct messaging to fix it."
