My name is Erica Wise. I'm from Scotch Plains, New Jersey. I am a marketing major and also want to do something with broadcast journalism. My friends are my life and I love my youth group that I am a part of. I can no longer participate in it since I am too old, but I still stay involved as best I can, and have maintained my friendships that I've made throughout the years. Because I've been a part of my youth group for so long, and have had so many accomplishments while being in it, I consider it my personal community. There are so many things that people don't understand about being part of a youth group, and I intend to share all of those responsibilities and accomplishments in my narrative.

  1. This sounds great, Erica! Think about whether you want to focus on the general "youth group" community, or if you want to describe your experiences within your own youth group. Either way, keep in mind that you're writing for an audience who is not a member of a youth group at all, so in addition to sharing your personal experiences, make sure you introduce the group and the identifying factors that make it a community. I'm sure there are a lot of expectations and standards - whether or not they are spoken - which make up this community. Tell us about them. Focusing on the responsibilities and accomplishments you mention is a great place to start.
