What would you like people to know about your community?	They really like sports here. Also, if you’re driving downtown, be carful not to hit any of the college students because they never check before they cross.

Some of the factors that have been challenging for me have been...	Eating enough of the right foods and, now that soccer season is over, finding group activities to do semi-regularly.
It's important for me to be part of my community's health because...	A healthy community is capable of far more than one which is physically, mentally, and emotionally impaired.
Some of the strength of my community health factors are:	My community provides an abundance of physical activities such as sports, parks, games, and more.
Some of the challenges in my community regarding certain health factors are:	An abundance of smoking and vaping.
I believe I can help improve my community's health by...	Educating myself on how to be healthy. Being an example. Sharing what I’ve learned.

Advancing the DREAM - What it means to me	It’s important to fight for equality and help educate people to use their opportunities that we have all been blessed with in this country and community.
My Action Pledge to Advance the DREAM?	By helping and supporting members of my community to live the best and healthiest lives.
