What separates a group from a community? What separates an individual from a group? The answer is not stereotypes. A black man should not be separated by their color but by their integrity, talents, and capability. Every person is different in their own way. They are molded and shaped by the people that surround them. The community and the place affect how one will grow up. If someone is living in a big city, they will have a different life than one in the country.

The Florida Keys celebrates a diverse and colorful history that is full of adventurous tales of Native American Indians, Spanish, pirates, hurricanes, and shipwrecks. Offering the only living coral barrier reef in the U.S, this island archipelago lies along the Florida Strait stretching 200 miles from Biscayrie Bay to the Dry Tortugas. Before Spaniard Ponce De Leon’s expedition in 1573, the Florida Keys was home to Native American Tribes, Calusa and Tequesta. The Spanish named these islands Los Martires (the martyrs) and rightfully so, since many ships were wrecked on the reef during early times. However, the name was once again changed by the Spanish to “Keys” from the Spanish word “cayos” meaning “Small Island.” Subsequently, the official name Florida Keys was adopted.

Groundwater is the largest and most available usable source of drinking water in the state. There is a vast and mysterious system of caves and natural springs in North Central Florida. The cave system within the aquifer is one of the most amazing parts. The caves are remarkable in many ways. They are among the deepest and longest in the world, let alone the U.S. Another amazing aspect of the system is the purity of the water. The springs collectively produce billions of gallons of crystal clear water per day. The whole system stems from the Florida Aquifer that rests under the entire state. When most people think of Florida, they think of the weather and the beaches, but its the springs and the whole water

Florida became United States territory in the year of 1821 and it consisted of just two counties known as Escamba to the West and St. Johns to the East divided by the Suwanee River and all other counties were created from those two original counties. Although Florida was United States territory it wasn’t until the year of 1845 that it became the 27th state. Florida currently has a total of 67 counties. The last county was introduced in 1925 which is Gilchrist County which was named after Florida’s governor Albert W. Gilchrist who served from 1909 to 1913. Florida counties are subdivisions of the state government. All of Florida’s counties are incorporated

Hawaii, translated from the ancient Hawaiian language should mean paradise because that's what it is. Hawaii has a climate that varies only several degrees in temperature year round and the sun always shines. The rainy season is in January, but it isn't so rainy that it deters visitors. In fact, winter is one of the most popular times of year to visit Hawaii. This is probably because it is cold and dreary just about everywhere else in the United States. Hawaii makes for the perfect getaway for Californians because it is only about a three-hour flight.

I recently saw a post that claimed to list five hidden gems that were in or around Tallahassee. Being an expert (at least I like to think so) on the Tallahassee area, I took the bait and clicked the link. I was happy that they included Maclay Gardens and the trail loop at Elinor Klapp-Phipps Park but I was sad that all of the other items mentioned were located one to two hours outside of Tallahassee. It really is a shame because Tallahassee is one of the most beautiful cities on the planet and has tons of hidden natural gems. I decided then and there that I would be compiling my own list of the top five hidden gems that are actually located in or around Tallahassee.

Craig Key in Florida is a calm peaceful, relaxing, and tranquil place to go fishing. There are just two properties in this little key, Overseas Highway, and the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail. Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail is on the side of the road where my family goes fishing. The Florida Keys are, as the Florida Fish and Wildlife officer said “a beautiful place to go fishing if anyone annoying is not around,” by which he meant if other people were around.

I am from Coral Springs, Florida. I am just assuming that you do not know where Coral Springs is because it is not a main, huge, famous city and you probably are not familiar with the South Florida area. Coral Springs is about 25 minutes in a car to Fort Lauderdale, and is about 35 minutes in a car to Miami, perhaps more famous and familiar cities that you may know. I have lived in the same house in Coral Springs ever since I moved there from Colorado when I was only a few months old. I love where I live and I love having my friends and family nearby, but I wanted a change.

Your article on the Miami Herald website called “Will Florida Bay survive the summer?” opened my eyes as to what is going on in the Florida Bay and has inspired me to bring awareness to the sea grass die off during my research trip to the Florida Bay. This week, I did my own research to measure the salinity of the Bay and the water temperature to compare the results to the last sea grass die-off which occurred in the early 1990s. I have discovered that the temperature of the bay in the summer of 2015 compared to the temperature in the summer of 1990 increased astronomically. In fact, the temperature was 93 degrees when I made my measurements and just to confirm my measurements I sent emails to researchers

Little Havana is one of Miami's most picturesque and beloved neighborhoods. It has some of the oldest and most historic buildings in Miami. Ever since the Cuban immigration started in the 60s the neighborhood became the home of many Cuban families, and later it was home as well for residents from Central y South America helping them to shape and reinforce the strong and proud Hispanic identity of the area. Walking by Calle 8 (8th street, the area's main drag) you always find either, around Domino Park or at El Exquisito or at El Pub restaurants or at any other business between SW 12th Ave and SW 17th Ave, people who by their charming personality or by their clothing or by their conversations always proudly display elements of their homeland,

Wait, we haven't been introduced. My name is Fern, and by some wonderful stroke of good luck, I live in the beautiful, tropical Florida Keys.
