I believe that connecting with others and building a sense of community is crucial to our nature. I believe that in order to have a healthy life, we need to immerse ourselves in the area of community. Through immersing myself in the nature of community, I have been given the opportunity to experience the world from many different view points. I strive to connect with others just by getting to know who they are and what they enjoy. I have been involved in a Connect Group through my local church, where I have had the opportunity to immerse myself in community and connect with others each week. Through practicum, my ELA trip to Griggs County High School, and being on campus, I have been able to connect and get to know others in ways I would have never imagined possible.
