It is by giving back to the community that raised us that we truly understand that we are part of something bigger than ourselves. I loved the Ethiopian community I lived in and I was always the first to give back to the community, given the chance. But the community I grew up in wasn’t the best in the slightest. It was filled with sick, homeless people on the streets waiting for death to do them apart. It was a havoc of garbage that resulted from accumulated littering; it is to be said that the people in the community didn’t care at all about the environment they were living in.…
Since I was a kid I’ve noticed my home town of Pomona, CA had areas that were roughed up. Whenever I passed through main streets like Holt Avenue I could see sidewalks filled with homeless people & damaged property. Seeing my city in bad shape sparked something in me & I knew I wanted help better the city & give back to it but wasn’t really sure how to contribute up until high school. Sophomore year in high school I joined Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán, MEChA, I was introduced into this club by a friend that was actively involved in it. MEChA’s main focus in the community was to help the Spanish speaking people within the community that were in need of help in school. Another club that I joined that year was Key Club International.…

For example, marines and other servicemen (base workers, etc.) keep the work sections and housings in Camp Pendleton clean.

Societies and communities depend on volunteers. Volunteering is perhaps the most valuable way for us to help our community. First, volunteering not only aids and welfares one’s community however, in a way, it profits the volunteers themselves. I deem, for instance that volunteering makes a person feel praiseworthy, as if they’ve successfully done something since they contributed to make someone else’s life better or they made a difference in their community somehow. Moreover, volunteering also shows that that person is assiduous, gentle, and good-hearted, because he/she is generous enough to give up and sacrifice a few hours of their time to lay it into their community. Furthermore, it is also serving others without presuming to get anything in return.…

Engaging people in a certain area with organization, programs and development is part of community involvement. Community service is an important responsibility of all.

The first type of neighbor that everyone has is the Good neighbor. This neighbor is always helping everyone around them. No matter whatever a neighbor may need they are always there to help. When somebody needs something they are the first to lend a hand and assist them anyway it is needed. They are also one of the most friendly neighbors and considerate. They try to think about the necessities of others also considering themselves. Nancy is that neighbor for my neighborhood, she’s the first one people call if there’s an emergency no matter how big or small it is, Nancy will go out of her way to help a neighbor in need. Last summer when my family and I went to San Francisco for vacation she feed our cats, watered our plants, and collected our mail. This kind of neighbor is a pleasure to live next to unlike the Bad neighbor.…

Although differences are apparent within communities, similarities are present as well. Truth or Consequences and Mountain View Crossing both show signs of respect. Even though there may have been no mention of respect within the individual reports, there is no question that respect is not present. Communities implement local festivities along with resident appreciation days. The purpose behind these gatherings is so residents can become familiar with the people in their community. Building a certain type of camaraderie is a result of this interaction. With this, residents can become familiar with the different…
My community size has differed throughout my life. When I was younger I moved around a lot. I never had any sense of community ever. The community I am in now I’ve been in for seven years and I don’t know my neighbors names, and to be quite honest some are a little creepy. There is no…
