My community ETH/125 My community In my community the area is predominately white; there is not much diversity in the state of New Hampshire.

strong desire to become a doctor and serve humanity. I do not want to become a teacher like my elder brother. A teacher’s lot is very hard. He is overworked but underpaid. He commands no respect in society. The so-called nation-builder cannot make both ends meet. He cannot educate his children. He cannot build a house. He is born poor‚ lives poor and dies poor.

Like most‚ when I think of the word literacy my mind automatically goes towards my english classes‚ poems‚ papers or readings.
