Growing up in a small private school, I found a close community to be a very vital part of my life. Now I am part of two bigger communities – Farmville and Longwood. Active participation in this community helps to improve the town, the schools, and the people’s lives, and being an Honors Student I have been able to help the community through programs like The Big Event and HSA, and I will strive to help further through more clubs in the future.
