Being apart of Year Up's community is a wonderful experience. It is a chance to be able to find your self worth. Many people may not feel apart of a lot of communities, but at Year Up we come together as a whole. We are all different people, different personalities and mind frames, but we all have common goals in life. One very important goal that I know we all wish to accomplish and will accomplish, is to be successful. Nobody is forced to be apart of this community. We were given this opportunity for different reasons but I believe the prime reason is because staff at Year Up know that we want to be successful and they want to make sure that we do succeed. I enjoy knowing that we are all here to accomplish something. That shows that we are serious about our future and which direction we want it to go. I can't say I dislike anything about the people in the community. We are all different and I'm still in the process of getting to know everybody. Being that we do come from different communities, this can be a disadvantage as well as beneficial. Working together and going into the professional world, we have to learn how to control our attitudes. For example if one doesn't agree with what someone else in the community is saying, there are other ways to address the issue rather than getting upset or snapping at that person. We are all working progress and as with everything, this may take some time getting use to. I understand that throughout this process will come challenges, but as a community we can overcome them and move forward.
