From my work as a Resident Advisor this year, I have improved my time management and organizational skills. Taking fifteen credit hours, serving as a work-study student, coordinating internships through APPLES Service-Learning, and working as a Resident Advisor are a few of the things that I had on my plate throughout this semester. Keeping up with these responsibilities seems like a somewhat daunting task – what’s the perfect balance between these commitments? Throughout this last year, I found

me as sterile and isolated from the world. Luckily, in downtown Oklahoma City, there is an exception to this stereotype in the form of Dunlap Codding. At Dunlap Codding, they have careful created a kind of community atmosphere that would generally be missing from law offices—and the community that they are promoting is not just between the lawyers and other workers themselves, but also between the law office and the rest of the art district. Through the design of this office—including the orientation

hadn’t eaten in days. He finally called 911 to reach out for help. The responding officers bought him $160 worth of groceries. While the compassionate response was amazing, the thought of this poor man being that disconnected from his surrounding community, that he could go this long uncared for, is devastating. No one should live in that much isolation. As more of the Baby Boomer generation ages, the problem of helping seniors stay connected is a growing one. There are a host of potential dangers

The community to which I belong is defined by many things. We are brought together by mutual pain, hardship, and triumph. In collective action every week or so, we push ourselves, our bodies and minds, to the very limit of human endurance. We sweat together, bleed together, and ultimately we run as one. The community to which I belong is that of cross-country runners, on my team, and across the world. In no other place will you find such a competitive and united group of people. I joined this community

exist as part of a community, one must sacrifice their individuality; however, quite the opposite is true. Community is the source from which individuality is derived. From birth, humans are social beings who require interaction, connections, and relationships; communities help to fulfill this physiological need. From family and friends, to acquaintances and colleagues, these connections are made, sanity is preserved, and life can continue on as normal. However, without this community of individuals

Making a difference in a community is one of the most important things to do. Anything from blankets to toothpaste can help. In my school they are supporting making a difference by allowing the students to do this. My group had the topic of natural disasters and tried our best to make a difference in a community but it wasn’t our own. For our project we collected 47 coats, hats, scarves, and gloves to donate to a village in Guatemala. This village had recently undergone a natural disaster. The Salvation

Rules Discussion Jonas’s community is a very ruled based community that focus on “sameness.” People in the community never actually experience harsh or unique experiences. Jonas lives in a community that focus on shielding their people from pain, suffering, or negative things.

Riding a bike is something simply for leisure

We worked with Westvale, West Jordan, and Riverside elementary schools; tutoring students with their assignments and homework. In my sophomore and junior

There are many ideas that come to mind when asked about being a good neighbor. The most important is to give back to the community; volunteerism is key to being a good neighbor.

As the years went on, Brentwood grew into a respectable community, with churches being built, small businesses cropping up, and the school system expanding.

high schools, students are required to complete a certain number of community service hours prior to graduation.
