The Importance Of The Community In My Community

Describe the most challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?

The most challenging obstacle I faced was during middle school. Not only was I outcasted simply because my character did not fit into a whitewashed rich boy image.Most of my classmates would simply only think of themselves and how they can make themselves even more popular. During middle school I still hadn’t realized not fitting in would be fine. Not only did this incident brought me depression people simply didn’t care. Simply giving me punishments every time my grade fell. I would still tell myself to be happy that everything would be all right. But all it did was give me a fake mask to face reality.

When I think of a significant challenge, the thing which stands out in my mind is one of the biggest change in my life which was moving to the United States. I was in 11th grade in Pakistan before I migrated to the U.S. I had to retake that grade. I felt bad to be one year behind, but later I started to participate actively in all my classes, but the change of the type of study was the biggest obstacle in my way to get educated and be successful. There are many differences between the education here and the one in Pakistan. There were a series of challenges I faced after settling into the school like meeting new people and getting along with them. Because I was shy, it was hard for me to get along with others whom I didn’t even know. I knew

What does community really mean? The definition of community is, “a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common.” I believe community is more than just a definition. Community means sticking together and accepting those within the community

The most significant challenge I have faced was when I was growing up was reading. Reading is one of the most important things it was hard for me to say some words that I thought I was never gonna learn to read ever even if they were just small words or big words I struggle so much while growing up. When I was

Everyone goes through a challenge at some point in their life. I went through a challenge last year at the beginning of my freshman year attending Foothills Christian High School. Last year, my freshman year I did not know anybody starting the school year. This made me super nervous to start high school. I was also concerned about the three days a week at school and two days homeschool. One of my challenges was going to school and parts of that challenge was not knowing anybody starting school, having to go to school on three days a week instead of five, and not knowing the campus well.

I participate weekly in a club called Peanut Butter and Jelly Club, which is arranged on Wednesdays after school, which purpose is to feed the homeless, as well is the activity in which I consider is the most important I partake in which has benefited my community. Being, I am making a positive change in my community by feeding the homeless who are in great need of food as well combating hunger among various people through my actions. I am making my community a better place through food donations, fundraisers, and sandwiches for the homeless. as well it is a wonderful feeling when I hear the news that our food is able to reach and impact various homeless people, and is able to uplift their day. Furthermore, Peanut Butter and Jelly Club is a

I have always taken great pride in my ability to bring myself out of poverty and to become a well-rounded person. I have suffered through many obstacles along the way, and with great determination, I have been able to overcome them. I know that I have been fortunate and I never take that for granted. Friends and family are a great support system and I am blessed to have the best of both. I work very hard to instill strong beliefs into my children and their friends. It is very important to me that I give back to the community. Understanding social culture and economic provides and even greater sense of wanting to help those that need it. I volunteer through my work with Habitat for Humanity and the Houston Food Bank. My daughter also volunteers

Service is important to me because I’m a proactive person who likes to be involved and initiate change. My purpose is to help others. The influence I have had on my community is tangible. In April of 2014, I helped lead a fundraiser for a local Suffolk County family that lost their home in a fire. The impact of my service can be found in not only the community members I have assisted, but Long Island itself. My hands have worked the soil all over Long Island as a result of beautification projects I have undertaken with Main Street Organization to embellish local neighborhoods. Every fall, I volunteer at Cross of Christ Church to rake leaves and garden. My passion for the environment has driven the type of volunteer work I have sought, such

For the majority of my community service hours I spent time at my church, First Baptist Church of Bascom, weekly helping make meals and serve them to people in the community. The meals were open to everyone, but was specifically based towards the people who were in need of a meal or was not able provide a home cooked meal to their family or themselves. This issue is becoming larger and larger in this community. Because of the economy people are losing their jobs or even receiving a pay cut from a salary that they were already struggling on. It is nice to know what people will at least get one good meal a week. Not only were we able to serve meals we were also able to fellowship and be a friend to talk to that they might not have. It is very

Religion is the devotion to a religious faith or observance and accumulates many followers. Today, thousands of religions exist including quakerism, Hinduism, Islam, mormonism, Baha'i faith and Atheism. As Zach Anner explored deeper into the different religions through soulpancake, religion was shown to be a catalyst of how many people live their lives. Religion is centered around how many people live their lives as they seek community, meaning, and family.

I wouldn’t really say my community as a whole has an impact on me as a person but people in around me have had a huge impact on me for who I am today. The people who have the biggest impact on me is defiantly my family and friends, I have done so many things with them that made me the person who I am today.

“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members” (Coretta Scott King). A community consists of many individuals and how those individuals act, either alone or together, will determine whether the community will foster or die. Consequently, in order to be an effective individual in my own communities, I believe that being true to myself and really immersing myself is a powerful way to impact any community. For the most part, two of my communities are Providence College and Pasa Esek Hopkins. Reading about great leaders like MLK and Mother Teresa, who advocate for such strong love of neighbor and standing up for beliefs in the face of adversity, is at the focal point of my inspiration. I believe that believing in one’s self is how an individual can shine in their own community.

that do that. That may be a good investment of your resources and time, to say, “Okay, as a township, we want to trust us in an integrated comprehensive way. These are the people.” I think they’re usually like a one two-day training. They come back for a booster, or something like that. It’s something that if the will is there and the coalition is united, that this is the good approach. It’s something that could make a significant difference with relatively fewer resources. You’re not adding resources. You’re just leveraging the existing resources.
