D. Community - educational, geographic, religious, political, ethnic, or other - can define an individual's experience and influence her journey. How has your community, as you identify it, shaped your perspective?
As I walk from my house to the train station, I smell the biryani from Shama Restaurant, the tacos from the taco cart at the corner of the street, and the fresh bread from the newly opened Russian bakery. I reside in the diverse community of Brighton Beach where despite the fact, being from different countries; people know each other and greet each other daily. I volunteered at the Islamic Center of Brighton Beach and the doctor's office. These two experiences have made me learn even more about my community. I have adapted distinct forms of essentials from different nations in my community; from saying "Hola" to a Mexican neighbor or "Asalamu Alaikum" to a Muslim sister. The diverse form of my community has made me become an open thinker and enjoy life even more when I'm around these people of distinct nations. I learned that even though we are from different countries, we belong to the same community and identify it as one.
