Neighborhood Narrative I was raised in the city of Oakland, where crime was an occasional thing, and homeless people living in parks was an everyday sight. Some parts of Oakland were beautiful, such as Lake Merritt. Here my parents would go jogging, and push my brother and I in the stroller. I attended elementary school at The Lake School. Growing up in Oakland really opened my eyes to poverty, and seeing people who are less fortunate than me. Being exposed to poverty at a young age had an…

The community I have dedicated this project to is the community of Forney, because I have been in here since the second semester of 6th grade. This community has had many impacts on my life, either good or bad they were all learning experiences for my future. I mainly see this community as good, and I cannot judge it off of some bad experiences because, that would not be fair. I have come to learn Forney’s culture and what it can teach you if you watch and listen. To start with, the key…

It was an intergenerational conversation on fathers and men preventing violence. A mobilization strategy implemented to prevent family violence. It was a great way according to Caitlin (2002) to strengthen Sister- and Brotherhoods in the shared mission to create safe families…

something greater, a shared sense of community. For one, people united under one cause can band together in order to help others in their community, helping others heal from a tragedy to collaborating to start a movement. On the other hand, people in communities can band together for corrupt reasons, to spread hate and chaos into the world. These examples of communities are evident in both today’s society as well as the novel Unwind by Neal Shusterman. Clearly, communities can both help and harm…

Although, there are a number of officer who work on different shifts as well as off of work on certain days but there is a way to make sure that every officer gets this information. Therefore, the Chief of police or the Sheriff can deliver these changes in a…

several seek general help and assistance, and majority of the time, many just want to be a part of a community.

As a volunteer, I would want to be involved in as much as possible; I would like to experience everything that the BMCC offers. I believe it would be a great way to interact with the community, while also providing me with a way to a help, shape, and improve the lives of those…
