Community

Community to me is a sense of home away from home. Its that world outside of your house, that shows your individuality, and your unity all at the same time. Every person in a community is extremely different. They have different backgrounds, different family values, morals and principles, but one thing that they all have in common is their sense of community. That sense of community that they all share is the glue that ties their individuality together. I know that personally Im from South Side Jamaica Queens. My community is all about good food, fights, and standing up for one another. We would eat, fight, and fight for each other. Thats really all it was. I was never a rough and/or bad kid, but there were plenty of times where I had to defend my self. If you think about it, community is broken up into two english words, "Comm" and "Unity" which both mean "Together". Essentially, community is the art of tying both Individuality, and Unity at the same time.
