In Athens the "community" is very diverse. Here, we have several different groups of people. We have the children, the teens, the college kids, and elders. Writing plays a huge role in our community because this is how everything is passed around; news, gossip, etc. School is vital to our community because the majority of people in Athens are STUDENTS. UGA is an ENORMOUS chunk of Athens.

What is community? Community to me, is more than just "fitting in". It's actually being apart of something as a whole. To be apart of a community, you have to actually connect and engage. It's not just "I live here" , it's "How can I connect to people and my surroundings?"

Tavi, I can agree with you on that you do have to be somewhat engaged to be a part of the community! Athens is extremely diverse but I love how you pointed out that regardless of how different the students are be they elementary, high school,or college students, the majority of the community is made up of students as a whole!
