A Community to Which I Belong

A community to Which I Belong

Many people disown their communities because of disagreements. What they do not realize is that they are abandoning the most valuable union that shaped their character (Mason, 2000). Internal conflicts within the community are not rare thus should be solved via appropriate channels. An eviction from a community is more likely to result in loneliness. However, those that reconcile and encourage each other reap the benefits only available to the community members.

I belong to a community of individuals that pursue happiness in life. People should reap life benefits because it does not last long. This pursuit is a bond that brings us together come rain or sunshine. We enjoy each other’s company as we participate in recreational activities. What many people do not know about my community is that assist each other during the point of need.

My community is important to me because of the invaluable contribution it has on my life. I can confidently say that my own character would be much different today had I not convinced myself to join my peers. I became interested in joining the community after I noted positive changes in formerly wayward members. In fact, I have a friend that inspired me to be part of ‘something progressive.’ At the time, my life was in ruins. It seemed like the world was caving down on me. I was sad and emotional. Nothing seemed to be working out for me. It was then that I decided it is enough!

When I joined the community, I received advice on overcoming challenges. I soon discovered that most of the community members once passed through the phase that I was. Their testimonies served as a stepping stone for me to fulfill my needs. I anticipate that in future, I will assist the new members to trace their path to happiness.

In conclusion, I am convinced that everyone deserve a second chance in life. Nobody should suffer internally and secretly in life. Speaking to trusted friends, peers and other community members can be your problems’ solution.
