Hi Everyone - it’s Keylen :)

I enjoyed learning about the different communities and community services. There are three types of communities.

1. Urban - Urban communities are very crowded

2. Suburban - Suburban communities are residential

3. Rural - Rural communities are spread out and not many people live there

I live in a suburban community. My community has lots of houses, schools, parks, fire stations and businesses. It also has many restaurants, grocery stores and banks. I like being involved in my community. I’ve played neighborhood basketball, football and baseball. I’ve met and made friends who live in my community too.

Community services are also important. We need policeman to keep the neighborhoods safe, we need fireman to put out fires. We need schools so that kids can learn. These are just a few ideas of important community services.

Some communities are less fortunate than others. My family and I have started a tradition. Every year around the holidays, we will go and feed the homeless in less fortunate communities. This past Winter break, my family and I went out and feed over 200 people. It made me grateful to have a home to live in and food to eat. My family and I performed a humbling community service. It felt great to help other people.
