Chapter 12: My Communities

Where I live is in the country, so I don't live in "community", but just about half a mile down the road there is a mobile home community.  The book also defined community as "a group of people having common interests."  So I guess you can call Tae-Kwon-Do a community because the common interest is martial arts. I was part of a speech and debate community for 4 years.  And last of all my family, common goals and we live together.  The community of Tae-Kwon-Do was a great experience.  Through my 7 years of martial arts, Tae-Kwon-Do has given me an instructor's collar, perseverance, boldness, and integrity.  Being able to teach little kids what I know and loved was a great thing that I gave back.  I've quit Tae-Kwon-Do because of college, but when I go back, I don't think there's anything I would like to change.
