Respond to these questions in your initial post:
Rural or urban setting. Would you characterize your home community as being in the country, a small town, a medium-sized city, a major metropolis, or a suburb of a bigger city?
Population density. How many people live in your community of origin? Would you describe the area as being spread out, crowded, or something between the two?
The general standard of living. How would you describe the social class of people living in the community? Poor? Middle-class? Fairly well-to-do? Wealthy?
Available resources. To what extent are hospitals, parks, police and fire protection, garbage collection, and shopping readily available? Are there services and resources accessible for people in need including shelters for battered women, crisis intervention hotlines, food pantries, counseling, and other social services? Are there churches and religious organizations in the community? How many?
When you think of your home community, what words first come to mind? How would you describe it to a complete stranger? What would you emphasize? Was it a generally happy, pleasant place? Or was it hostile, dangerous, and impoverished? What are the reasons for your answers?
