Lubbock: A Community Analysis

Bob Johnson was an old man who attended a Riding for a Cure marathon along with eight thousand and two-hundred other participants.. At the age of sixty-two, he was able to raise eighteen thousand dollars for Leukemia. His motive for doing this kind act was because his best-friend’s son had Leukemia and had died. For three months, Bob trained six days a week in order to prepare for the one hundred and nine mile bike on the day of Riding for a Cure.

Jim Valvano, a college basketball player at Rutgers University, broadcaster for the NCAA, father, and prolific college basketball coach for North Carolina State University, was presented with the Arthur Ashe Courage and Humanitarian Award at the ESPY Awards on March 3, 1993. Valvano was fighting metastatic adenocarcinoma, a cancer of the bones, at the time and was not expected to live much longer. Because Valvano’s time was fading, sports fans from around the world were anticipating a powerful speech that they would remember and cherish for the rest of their lives. In his speech, Valvano is able to emotionally connect to his audience with the use of humor, enthusiasm, and urgency to encourage the audience to donate to The V Foundation for Cancer Research.

Statistics are a very reliable source that she used. “The agriculture Department estimated in 1999 that twelve million children were hungry or at risk of going hungry.” In a country with more than enough offered to some, you’d think as a whole we can provide for all. Anna made that message very clear. Ms. Quindlen also presented solutions that gave the reader a sight that it’s possible to help this problem which touches back to how well her evidence persuades the problems existence. She talks about different programs that are doing different things to fight this battle. “One food bank in Nevada decided to send trucks to the parks for tailgate lunches.” By going to the kids, it relieves pressure off parents and doesn’t let the kids feel bad. Anna also uses a sort of well-known accusation, “We Americans like need that takes place far from home, so we can feel simultaneously self-congratulatory and safe from the possibility that hard times could be lurking around the corner.” By pointing out this evidence of selfishness many of us partake in, a want to better our country

In addition, I raised money for the Annual Breast Cancer Walk held at my school because I hope to save another person’s life which they are given the ability to volunteer and make a difference in the world. With the life that I was given, I had many opportunities and I want others to have the same. However, this is only the beginning of my journey to helping others. One day, I aspire to create my own nonprofit company so I can continue giving back to my community and making a change in this ever-changing

Although Alabaster is one large community in itself, because of its size, it contains quite a few facets of diversity. In its self, it is a very welcoming town, as I have had my own experience with being assimilated within the town. When I was seven we moved from Mississippi to Alabama, due to my father’s work. Alabaster was the first and final choice of where we chose to live. When we moved I was in the first grade and I remember is everyone being very welcoming at school. This trend also continued as watching people move to our school from other places, we were always very welcoming. The schools aside, Alabaster is also home to quite a few ethnicities. According to the 2010 census data, Alabaster consist of being 79.4 percent white, 13.5

Does the success of a community depend upon a person's willingness to make individual sacrifices? Well in my opinion society builds upon every individual and every individual interest because what one individual does can affect a community. For example if I am in class and if i decide to disrupt the class it can affect the whole class in their education because if I disrupt the class the teacher might have to deal with the student disrupting the class and might not have time to teach the whole class. Therefore the other class will be behind because the teacher will be to busey dealing with the student that is disrupting the class. There are many different examples about how one person can affect a community I am going to you many more in this essay.

Lori designed, implemented, and secured sustainable funding for innovative programs that provide emotional, financial and practical support to families of children with cancer. Lori Butterworth opened this talk by mentioning that she volunteered at a children hospital for a 1000 hours. She realizes she couldn’t do it, for numerous reasons. She got the courage when her friends son had got admitted to the hospital with cancer. She threw a party for her friend, where she raised enough money for her to quit for job, and be with her son for the entire year. She learned you can handle anything as long as you don’t have to experience it alone. The doctors gave Juab a 5% chance of living, and he just graduated from high school! She has started 2 more non-profit organizations, since that point. The Boomerang Foundation and is passing on her own positive, life-affirming experiences while providing support and guidance to young people about living life on purpose. She broke down how inspiring it would be if the government sent out Thank You letter to everyone, while explaining how they spent your money. Throughout everything she encountered, she realized that Jacob mother was right when she stated “We can handle anything, if we don’t have to handle it

Thank you for joining us today as the City of Mobile participates in the Race for the Cure Walk in celebration of October Cancer Awareness Month. This is a special occasion for many reasons but the most significant is that we have chosen as a community to make a difference and to show our own ability to be heroes. People define heroism in so many individualized ways and the world is full of heroes that make a significant impact and have admirable traits of all kinds. Our own designated heroes affect our mindset and influence our thoughts and our actions. It is powerful and influential. To me, a true hero changes the world and provides hope and peace in the most difficult situations.

Chapter eighteen focuses on defining community and understanding how companies and communities depend on each other to work together. A community benefits business and corporations because, without a community, there would be no business around the world.

“We can’t provide for the whole village. It’s not right, we are using all of our money to buy seeds and supplies that we can’t even provide for our own children. Every family in Rosewood should have to provide for themselves. Starving our own children so we can feed the community isn’t right”.

You watch TV and suddenly some poor and hungry children that live somewhere in Africa appears and you think “Oh I wish I could do something”. Nowadays there are some things that we can do to help. We can donate money and we send old clothes that we don’t use anymore. These small things for us are a huge difference for them. A normal meal for us may be the same for them as food for a whole month or so.
