Community: Belle Glade

Great out of the bad

graduating from the university of Florida and wining also the employee of the year and being raised up around the farming and family tight knit community.

Humble Servant

Bring able to come back and give back to the community. Doing stuff for those who gave to me as a kid.

Rose out of concrete

Living around violence-but finding the good out of every situation. Great support system.

Haiti Family

I grew up projects in belle glade the neighborhood was very nice. They will help out anytime if you need it, friends will help the best way they can. And what I love most about belle glade is they would cook food for anyone that is starving. My part of town in belle glade was very helpful its like having a family.

THE CHANGE OF THE NEW GENERATION

Around the time I was growing up in the early 2000s my community was very involved in activities around the community and with our kids here. Now in 2019 we cant get that much involvement to support our community and kids.

Preparation

Going off to college, and meeting others from other neighborhood and making connections. My community prepared me for this.

Great out the bad

Two positive, one positive being everyone is a whole, such as being a diversemulticultural community. Another being welcoming and feeling like a family from different races

Giving Back

Belle is a small community where family orientation is key to helping others and contributing to providing support everyone. We are constantly asking individuals who has left the the city to come back to the city and contribute.
