from Shannon’s winning essay…
“To represent a community, one must be involved in it. Taking the time to help one another is the best thing that can occur in society. All people who 
are involved in a community partake in a different aspect of it. The individuals who need help are the people who appreciate it. The people who lend a hand are the people who gain a fulfillment in their lives from the gratitude of those he/she benefited. It is an ongoing process with all of the pieces connecting as a working system. This system is the basis of civilization. There are many directions a person can pursue to be involved in an effective society…”
