Voces de la comunidad
Comunidad. Una sensación de pertinencia y seguridad con los que amo y los que me aman. Tiene el poder de evocar la felicidad y la tranquilidad, incluso cuando estoy muy lejos de ella. Es mi hogar, mi esfuerzo y mi corazón. Community is a bond between people through shared beliefs, values, identities, or goals. In essence, a community unifies common individuals. Though community is rooted in the notion of similarity or commonality, communities have the ability to bring diverse individuals together and break boundaries. Engaging in community fosters discussion, expands knowledge, and forms solidarity among distinct individuals. Building community is important to me because it gives me a sense of belonging, support, and security. The communities to which I belong have been positive drivers in my life, propelling me to reach my goals, as well as serve as an aid to my fellow community members. Along with shared successes, communities experience shared pains.
Unfortunately, our current political climate has created divisiveness, in which certain communities are marginalized and abandoned by others. Through awareness of the communities that surround us, Holy Cross can help bridge the gap between conflicting individuals, cultures, ethnicities, etc. Instead of aiming to create separate and hostile groups,we need to strive to create the ultimate community of communities, in which each has respect and love for all of its members.
