Unity in the Community

   God has made each and every one of us as strong, independent beings. When we all link up together, we as people can accomplish anything we plan on this earth. As a group working for the same goal, we have built huge, dramatic buildings thousands of times our size. We have created bridges over gaps that would seem impossible to cross before the time was spent sharing ideas and planning together. We can stay under water with some ol' technological equipment, as well as fly across the globe inna silver bird of nuts and bolts. All these accomplishment are attained by a team. When people are working together for one common cause, it's like the power of God on earth. This is the power instilled in us by the All Mighty One. True Love backside kickflip disaster
It only takes one of us to come up with an idea or goal, but it will not become reality without conscious movements and usually the help of others. The man called Marcus Garvey from Jamacia built the UNIA (United Negro Improvement Association) that uplifted many desperate spirits in times of confusion and no direction. By giving a people with no identity a positive outlook and a true realization of their past, they could then move forward as Africans. Another example of an inspirational man is Christopher Columbus. For the simple fact that he unified some men, planned his journey carefully, and presented it to the Queen, who could manifest his dreams by financing them. Whatever his intentions, we can learn from his determination, bravery, and his actions of following through till he succeeded, yo! Thinking of these men, they have done what we must do. Let our voices be heard by those people that can help us achieve our goals.
   On the issue of building a skate park, the ones to speak with would be the parks and recreation people of your county. Most definitely parents, for a parent on the side of a their child is a powerful unit, and the neighboring people of the location of your park should be at the top of your list. We, as skaters, when skating, do make noise and should be considerate to the others living within our "skateboarding sound spectrum." Where should you consider building a skate spot? I feel it should be the same place where sports take place in your town, because this is land already designated for athletes. It could be the same place where the basketball courts, tennis courts, baseball, football, and soccer fields are. The volleyball courts, badmitton areas, frisbee golf, any where sports take place in your town! Skateboarding is a sport and we have to be heard by the people who help out athletes. Find them and combine forces, son!

So why is it farfetched to manifest a skateboard park in your community? An idea miniscule to the benefit of this universe, but to us as skateboarders it would be our sun, our breath of life. I know every skater has that burning fire in your heart to have your own skate park in your town. By unifying all the fires in us to create an unstoppable ocean of determination, we will succeed! Take the correct steps, move with a humble authority, and work till you skateboard a park you helped to build. United, our conceptions will Stand, Divided, we will fall into the hands of idleness. Move forward in all your doings.


   GOD BLESS ALL
