The Forest Acres community offers a number of opportunities to those who live in the area. As a city that has increased from two square miles to approximately five square miles in the area size, and from 375 to around 10, 500 in population size, it is understandable why this community appears to be becoming more upscale when compared to other local communities.

Sometimes living at a certain community doesn’t make you a part of it. Part of the reason can be that one can be so isolated from it, it feels like one lives somewhere else. For example, I live in Riverdale, a quiet community in the Bronx. Not that I don't like the community, I feel like I live in a safe area, but nothing even remotely interesting seems to occur in the Dale. When I leave my apartment to catch the bus that takes me to college, I walk by a couple of newspaper racks and never even…

I think the motto “We Serve” can apply to my life on a daily basis. Serving others doesn’t have to be a huge project; a helping hand is always needed. Opening the doors…
