In this picture, two sisters, Alison Orr (15) and Lauren Orr (13) just received donations from friends in Allendale, New Jersey. These two sisters are doing some volunteer work for Nancy’s Place, which is within a worldwide nonprofit organization called Covenant House. Nancy’s place, houses homeless teens and young adults between the ages of 18-21. There are 8 people living in this home, and Alison, shown in the picture below, and her sister Lauren are collecting snacks and drinks from friends within Allendale, to donate each month. This is an example of empathy because Alison and Lauren, plus the people donating, are stepping in the shoes of the homeless young adults struggling with money and education. They realize that even though they have everything they need living in such a great town and being raised with a supportive family, so many people don’t have that.

This photo shows respect and empathy for those living with mental disabilities. This housing area, Orchard Commons is for those living with mental disabilities such as Down Syndrome and severe autism. The main reason this shows respect and empathy is that people know that these kinds of people have difficulties possibly getting and maintaining a job that will allow for a life to go on. So by having easy housing for those afflicted with these shows a great deal of empathy and respect towards these people.

For my photo and paragraph about helping the community, I put in a photo of trees to represent the actions we could be doing as a community to help the environment. Planting trees and other plants is a form of helping the environment, and if we join together it also helps the community unite and everybody to contribute. This can be an example of contribution and helping out the community because everyone can help out with saving the environment such as saving trees in our neighborhood or elsewhere.

Everyone can Contribute by recycling plastic bottles and throwing out trash that lay on the streets. People can donate money to recycling organizations. Cleaning and taking out the trash is also helping the environment. Everyone that contributes to cleaning is being a good citizen.

There are a lot of holidays/events throughout the year, and it's important that our citizens participate in them. The nearest holiday that's coming up is Halloween. Some people are starting to decorate their house for the up coming holiday, like the picture below. If people don't participate, then all the events will be meaningless. But that's not the only way to represent good citizens. Some people don't get engaged in some events for reasons. For example, some holidays are for a certain religion and other people are not comfortable to participate in. No matter what other people think, we should always respect their choice. But always it's good to participate in events rather than thinking it's useless.

This is a picture of some newly planted trees in Allendale.  This is an example of good citizenship because a good citizen improves their community in any way they can.  They also do their best to make the community healthy as well as make it an environmentally stable.  Planting trees is a stable way to do so.  Trees bring oxygen. One tree can provide four people with oxygen for 24 hours.  Planting trees helps everyone in a community and being helpful is a big part of having good citizenship. Trees also absorb harmful gases.  This makes it important to have trees near the school.  This is because there are hundreds upon hundreds of people in the school everyday.  It is where most of our town's citizen's are during the day.  This makes the school very important.  Therefore, planting trees there is a smart decision.  It is another example of good citizenship.  A good citizen makes smart decisions for the community, like planting trees near an important building like the school.  This photo of the trees people planted shows the good citizenship of the the people in Allendale.

This is a picture of the Allendale 9/11 memorial. 16 years ago, a tragic event occurred. This event hit America by storm. A terrorist group had a plane hit each twin tower, causing them to crumble to the ground, killing thousands, plus a plane hit the pentagon, and finally a plane was headed towards Washington D.C., unsure if it was supposed to be the White House or the Capitol hit, when the passengers found out, they broke into the plane’s cock pit go down killing everyone on board. This is a memorial containing all the names of the people from Allendale, that were killed on 9/11. I decided this picture would best describe respect in Allendale. That is because the people of Allendale had this memorial built to remember those who passed, and wanted to respect them and their loved ones. To best remember and respect them, making them known to everyone who would drive by would be the best.

Crossing guards are a big part of the Allendale community. They have a lot of loyalty to our town because they keep children all over Allendale safe. Crossing guards risk their lives to help people all over; from getting from Brookside to the library to walking home from school. Without crossing guards, many people’s lives would be in danger. That explains why crossing guards are loyal, making them amazing citizens.

This picture shows me and my neighbors together as a group, with the word “Unity” written in front of us in chalk. This shows unity because there are two older kids  and two younger kids, showing that people will stay with each other no matter of age. The kids are also of different heritages, one American, one Korean, one Egyptian, and me because I’m Turkish. This shows that people can be friends despite their differences.
