Together we stand, divided we fall.
My community is my family
"No man is an island" I completely agree with the statement. No matter how individualistic a man thinks he is, there is no way for him not to have some effect and interaction with other people. We need each other to better meet our daily needs and I think all of us need a certain person whom we are so comfortable to share our life with and to accompany us in good times and in bad times. That's why we need a "Community".
First and foremost, community is not just about place, a building, or an organization it is about the people we live and work with. I can proudly say that "My community is my family." Why? Because they are the one I can work and live with, the one that taught me many things, the one that helps me to be a better person, the one that gives me everything that I need, the one that helps me to shape up my personality as an individual the one that gives me life lessons, and the one that shows love and care for me.
My community has done so much for me. Observing others behaviors lets one realize and understand more about different kinds of people. Seeing how certain others act or react to situations lets us see more perspective and hopefully appreciate their point of view. It is important to be part of communities for much of the same reason. When you are part of a group, you understand and compromise with the other members of the group. Discussing issues involving the community helps to lead to solutions. Talking things through with other people improves social skills as well as relationships among them.
Knowing how people feel about certain issues let you know more about that person, and in turn, you learn more about yourself. Hearing what other people have to say may sway your own opinions about something.
Giving back to my community is the least I could do for what all it has done for me. Living in my community has made me the person I am today.
My community is a rather small one, and all the people in it know everyone and greet each other with open arms and kind hearts. Growing up in this community has taught me how to be a loving, caring, and knowledgeable person. I feel that it is important to give back to my community because of everything it has done for me; whether it's the people in the community or the community as a whole. I need to give back what was given to me. The first way that I would start to give back in my community is to get along with all the different people that live in our community. Yes, each of us have differences and we are all not the same but we need to look at each other equally we need to not let religion separate us. Also, helping the homeless and poor people that we see everywhere helping them with basic needs of food and shelter, recycling is not so popular in our community but we need to start doing it. All the littering, helping pick up litter even if we don’t know who threw it just picking it up helps and also looks nicer and lastly, a very important way to take pride in our b is to save our old trees, they are always working to help us by improving the air quality by trapping dust.
At last, we don’t realize it but all these little things would help our community and it doesn’t require too much of our time. I was taught to appreciate what I have in my life all be looked at equally. We tend to look at the little pictures and problems in life and don’t see the big picture and the big problems in our community. The more we can do for our community the less we need to rely on outsiders. We need to work together. I love the community that I live in and I am proud of it. I take pride in it and I just hope that everyone feels the way I do. We can change for the better. Our community is our future so let’s move forward. My community is my pride and also my family.
