We’ve grown up in small place from small island, small town, and a small school.Without the support from others that we have now we wouldn't have the great opportunities that we have today.

This community has countless acts of kindness, however, every community has their flaws. Some areas I feel that we can help Hanover become a better place are updates on certain areas, helping the homeless, educational options, and the square.
