My Village My community consists of my birds and my wife, Lupe and our baby. There are several ways that I can keep my community unified and strong. Being friendly to each other is important in hard times. For example, when I go running, I try to be friendly with my neighbors. Being friendly encourages people to have a good day. Also, listening helps to know how someone is feeling. I listen to my wife when she tells me about her day. Finally, having a routine like drinking mate in the morning, listening to my birds and exercising helps keep a healthy mind and spirit. This is good for my soul. I like walking with my wife and our new baby. These are the small things that make me happy in my relationship with my community.

I like the community environment and friendly neighbors here, the air is fresh, the blue sky and white clouds, and the climate is good. I can’t drive, but there are public transportation such as VTA, community shuttle buses, so shopping or to see a doctor is very convenient. Especially in this new coronavirus pandemic, almost no one in our community has been infected. Everyone has done a good job of protective measures. Every weekend, my daughter’s family and I went to parks to climb mountains or hikes, exercise, and relax. Every Monday to Friday, I have study English at the MVLA Adult School. This English learning is very important to me, and I always insist on it for six years. Before, I dared not go out alone because I could not understand or speak English. Now I can go shopping and see a doctor by myself, which brings convenience to my life. I hope that the epidemic will be brought under control as soon as possible, and friends can gather freely. Life will be better then. Wei is a student in the Intermediate Low ESL class in the morning
