Mercer University Community Analysis

I was always the kid in my family that enjoyed philosophical debate, and now with my recent love for African-American culture and history, I feel that the Telluride Association Sophomore Seminar would be just up my alley. Sitting in a room with a handful of other African-American high schoolers that have the same fire for learning and discussion as I would be wonderful, and possibly would foster a plethora of great new friendships. The workshops lead by the adult professionals would also serve as a good networking opportunity as well as the chance to understand what career opportunities would possibly available to me. I am a young intelligent poor African-American that has Haitian heritage living in Orlando, attending a predominately caucasian school on a magnet.

I grew up in a small town that does not have much of a diverse culture. There is a small community base where everyone knows everyone. We are just like any other city just significantly smaller; we have good parts of town, bad parts of town, grocery stores, and a restaurant here and there. My county consists of only three school districts, compared to the sixteen Franklin County has alone. I have no experience living in a big city, but I have always been drawn to them. Any college I attend will be a notable culture change because of the comparison to the small high school I go to now, but I am eager to meet new people and learn about all sorts of different cultures in a city, such as, Columbus. Going to a small school has good and bad aspects to it.

My most significant endeavor while attending Lake Michigan College, was tutoring Emma, a high school freshman, in math, which benefited both society and the community. It is critical in life to give back, this applies to college students as well. You put life in perspective, when you give back, for instance assisting people who are less fortunate than you helps you appreciate your possessions and experiences.

Less than a mile from Fenway Park, a seven minute walk from the MFA, and on the banks of the Charles River, Boston University really throws its students right into the heart of the best city in the world. However, there are many colleges in Boston, what makes Boston University truly unique is the way it ensures students know how to navigate and really become a part of the Boston community. When I toured Boston University I was amazed at all the opportunities that I saw to make sure their students do not feel lost and always feel like they have a sense of community. I was shocked that in such a big city, at such a large school, I was seeing a bunch of small communities that had formed whether it was a study group, a floor in the residence halls, or a few friends that were eating lunch together. That is what makes or breaks a person's time in college. During the college years people are growing, changing, and figuring out just exactly they are. Without the right community this can be really difficult and almost impossible.

I strove to continue my involvement in service upon arriving at the University of Wyoming. Though campus organization allowed me to contribute to both campus and the surrounding community through student government, Relay for Life, and similar events, I always felt like a visitor. My impact felt fleeting.

Another to consider as having a great impact from the occurrence of sexual violence is the community. Although the community may not be considered as a victim and may not require direct medical and mental health care for survivors of sexual abuse. The community is impacted in a different way. Since community functions as a whole and its functionality rely on the health and well-being of the population. It is empirical that the community maintains as sound and disease free environment. In the case of sexual assault or abuse, there have been cases of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) occurrences involving sexual assault. Since STD are transmitted between people as a result of sexual contact, in sexual assault, it is not uncommon that STD may be

Just south of downtown San Jose, California is the secluded community of Santa Teresa bordered by valleys and nature trails of the Santa Teresa County Park, where families can enjoy recreational outdoor activities. Comprised mostly of individual neighborhoods the quality of life has been the main attraction for luring young families raising children to this valley. The community has a thriving social philosophy with a stable housing market and ranked #6 as the most livable place to live in San Jose, California.

First of all, thank you for all the work you do for your students. Like you, I have also had the opportunity to work with at-risk youth as an ELA tutor and is the hardest and most rewarding job I have ever had. I felt identified after reading that most of your students “are parents, parenting, offenders, on probation, court mandated to attend, homeless, and various similar situations (..)”.

I possess a number of qualities that I think will allow me to contribute to the UCF community. I am a very hard worker; I don’t procrastinate. Instead of going on my phone or hanging out with friends when I get home from school, I do my homework. I can use this quality to contribute to the UCF community by getting all of my work done and giving 110% effort in everything that I do.

When I first arrived to Simpson, the campus had an organization fair where all the clubs on campus were available for students to explore. I went to the fair and signed up for four clubs: Rotaract, Pre-Health Society, Breast Cancer Awareness Club and Campus Activity Board Club. I was involved in many athletics and clubs throughout high school and plan to be very involved in clubs here at Simpson. I’m anxious to begin these clubs over the next four years. The first club meeting I attended was CAB, which is short for Campus Activities Board, and so far, it seems to be a perfect fit for me.

A critical need my community lacks is unity. Many people do not know each other or do not try to familiarize themselves to the community. It is important You learn a great deal of things about what you can do to help your community. You to get to know the communities people, history, and issues. Tutoring kids is one of my favorite activities when doing community service. I have been tutoring kids for almost two years now. I started when I was in my senior year in high school at first I did it for the hours but now that I am in college I continue to tutor children because it was a great experience to share your knowledge with others. Tutoring kids to learn is an inspiring and fulfilling feeling to have. When a student's’ parents or teachers

I’m primarily focused on volunteering at a local middle school, West Cary Middle School, for after school tutoring to kids who are in need of a little extra help with any of their school subjects. This is something that I’m very passionate about and have done since my junior year of high school and aim to continue doing throughout college. One of the goals of the after school tutoring program is to help children that are a little behind in their school work to catch up with their classmates on materials such as reading, homework, and lesson concepts. Another goal is to re-explain a lesson a child might have not quite understood in the classroom or provide a little extra clarification that is needed on a subject. It’s also a goal of the program to have a mentor who not only helps

The Test Your Might (TYM) community is a true affinity space. It is a roust community devoted to fighting games, specifically the game of Mortal Kombat. There is a deep level of commitment and participation on the site from it's members. I was skeptical as I entered into this small study and my choice to focus on a gaming community. I was not sure there would be important implications for education that could arise from a forum dedicated to a fighting game like Mortal Kombat, yet I could not have been more wrong. Several themes have emerged as this research process has unfolded.

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.

It is no surprise that these students are so successful considering they’re 4,731 courses available and 232 undergraduate majors and certificates. There are 43,338 students enrolled at the University of Wisconsin, and 400k alumni’s. The university has accomplished many things, and spent $1 billion on research. The research done at UW has contributed to many successes including the first bone marrow transplant performed at the university on a two year old in 1968. The university is the 10th best public university in the U.S. The university also encourages everyone to volunteer and contribute to the community; this is why 83% of the students have reported doing some kind of volunteering. Last year there were 1,700 volunteers who helped the community, and 3,239 Peace Corps volunteers since 1961.
