FINAL Cultural Diversity Week 9 Final Currently I live in a community of approximately 21‚785 people according to the 2010 US Census. Herriman‚ which is about 20 miles southwest of Salt Lake City has grown by leaps and bounds over the last twelve years. Herriman was founded as a farming community in 1849 and was incorporated in 1999. Herriman still feels like a small town‚ an idea which is held onto by its community leaders and population.

The sound of the crashing waves‚ the heat of the suns’ rays‚ and the warmth of my family surrounded me. I was in California‚ and I was home. California is a place of diversity; one finds themselves with the opportunity of pursing who and what they want to do with their lives. Family is close‚ vacation is even closer‚ and home is near.

Overall I found that helping others shouldn’t be something seen as duty or mandatory‚ it should be spontaneous.
