Personal Narrative: My Persian Community

345 Words2 Pages

Just like everyone else, I belong to many different communities all with unique features that define them and separate them from the rest. Everyone feels they belong to one community more than the rest. The community I feel the community I belong to the most is the Iranian community in my local area. This community that I belong to frequently have get-togethers and meetings for fun. Whenever there is a Persian holiday, the community meets and celebrates the traditional way, in addition to celebrating in the privacy of our own homes and observing the day in our own way. We also spend time to celebrate ourselves in addition to our culture. If it is the birthday of a member of the community we will also take time out of our day to be with them

My parents never had to worry about driving me to sleepovers, though I was seemingly friends with everyone in school.

  • Personal Narrative: My Latino Community

    742 Words  | 3 Pages

    The injustice that occurred to the farmers awoke very different feelings in me, ranging from anger to pride. Anger from seeing just another way that people are oppressed, thrown to the side and invalidated in the eyes of white supremacy. Yet I was proud of my Latino community because in the face of this abuse they fought for their rights as people and did not let the oppressor just do what they always do with no resistance. This situation with the garden and the farmers is a very specific example of the way a group of people of color trying to advance and better themselves and their community, but is again being stopped and cannot grow and develop in this country, which has happened to numerous communities and population the moment these land

    Most people make the assumption that a community is made up of people who live near them when really it could be made up of people from all over the world. The word “community” can mean many things to different people and everyone has their own opinion on what it means to them. To me community means a group of people who all share the same interest, likes, and who are willing to come together and help one another in times of need. That is why I strongly believe that even if you are on the opposite sides of the world from one another you could still come together and be apart of a strong healthy community. To create your own community with others even if it is through the internet is very simple and you really just have to be willing to accept
