Everyone belongs to many different communities and/or groups defined by (among other things) shared geography, religion, ethnicity, income, cuisine, interest, race, ideology, or intellectual heritage. Choose one of the communities to which you belong, and describe that community and your place within it. (Approximately 250 words)

On the outside, most people see me as a private school student, attending the most prestigious college prep high school on an island in the Pacific called Guam. However I'm unlike other private school students, who have their future planned out by their parents, and readily follows along. I belong to the community of online bloggers, many of whom are champions of free thinking. With the rising engagement of teenagers on the internet, I soon found tumblr to be my second home. At first, blogging allowed me to freely voice my opinions and proved to be an escape from the stress of daily life. But it soon evolved into a melting pot of intellectual exchange, where I was able to interact with bloggers from all over the world. I feel that though I am physically on Guam, mentally I was able to travel the world and witness not only the beauty but also the cruelty of mankind.

Ultimately, blogging has allowed me to "transcend through cultural ghettos"; it has shaped my view of the world, taught me to be more open-minded and to look at matters in different perspectives. (Elif Shafak) Now I blog not only as a hobby, but do so to promote global awareness to other teenagers and adults alike. The blogging community offers me two things I value the most, a place to express myself without limitations and an opportunity to make a difference in someone else life; it's a place where I truly belong.
