Community

First thing I think about when I hear the word community is the TV show (it's pretty funny). But then I think about all the groups and events I've participated with my whole life. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's one of those words that I don't truly know the definition of, until I take the time to look it up. This chapter of the textbook explains the absolute importance of being with your family, friends, classmates, and neighbors.

The three assumptions of a community was: 1) They give us stability. 2) They serve our needs. 3) they accept us for who we are. And's important for everyone to have because everyone will need one. Especially when it comes to religious institutions, schools, and organizations. Because without communications, there wouldn't be a society, or a country, or even a nation. Nowadays, communities may not always follow the three assumption but I think it's the approach and attempt that counts.

So far....

I have a pretty solid idea of what I'm writing for my essay. I have most of the pictures in my computer and I have a couple of things in the house I can use for my collage. I just need to put my ideas together.

High School Cliches

I have to admit—I never really suffered nor benefited from clichés in high school. Mainly because I never stayed in the same school, I spent my first two years in one school and my last two in another. The point is that I never stuck around to see how it affected my fellow classmates, so I can’t really relate to any of the student in this article. But I found it incredibly interesting and saddening to know what teens roughly my age had to go through for four years. It’s hard to have an identity when coming-of-age and knowing where you belong in the world with or without guidance from parents. And it certainly doesn’t help to have social groups like nerds, jocks, or cheerleaders to make you feel inadequate about yourself.
