Back home in Wisconsin I live and work in two different communities. I had thought that none of them never really gave a crap about the people in there cities, they are both filled with stuck up people bitchy people. but last summer I had seen a different side of them that totally changed my views on people. June 2008 we had gotten the worst rain fall in years, everything was flooding, the river and the lake. The dam in both communities started to become weakened until they completely broke, causing hundreds of homes to become flooded and unlivable. both of these communities came together and were working around the clock to save people housing. filling sand bags and making walls in hopes to prevent more damage from happening. before this I was starting to loose faith in my communities but I now know that when others really need help that people are willing to put there lives on hold and lend a hand for a neighbor or two.
That's exactly how I feel about my town, which is a rich, stuck-up community outside of Chicago. You start to think that these people are too caught up in their own lives to even care about their own neighbors. But it's always during rough times, people are brought together and put aside their personal lives to help and support one another.
