Regis Experience and Maker Manifesto Connected

In my Maker Manifesto I really emphasized community with self and community with other people, and now that I'm at college it's a completely different experience. I'm around so many different new people and re-learning how to make community is quite challenging especially when coming from a community that you've known and surrounded yourself with for years (my community of family and friends is quite small I'd say). But being in college so far, I've been surrounded by so many people 24/7 (which can be good and bad). Yet, it's so good to see so many people from so many different backgrounds and states and heritages, and states of mind all in the same place where we are dedicated to trying to move forward with our education and our lives. Already a lot of people I've met have already had impacts on me, though school has been in session for only a few weeks, and hopefully throughout the next four years I have overwhelmingly good impacts on the people that I talk to and meet as I strive to do the same thing in my future career. I don't only wish to be a part of a community and make community, but I wish to make our community and the communities I associate myself with a little bit better by first trying to better myself and/ as well as trying to help understand or maybe just be kind to those who surround me.
