For this paragraph, if you choose to talk about education, you can use the 5 sentences to talk about how improvements can be made to public schools, especially those in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. You can argue that additional funding to education is crucial because it would be investing in the future of America (aka, it would be paving the way for future American adults, who will eventually contribute to the country amidst heavy international competition).
