"The gym is a community"
Why? You might ask do I think that the gym is a community, I think that all the people there are there for the same reason, to lose weight and feel great! This is a pretty strong bond beacuse no one is realy judging anyone (not out loud anyways), we are all struggling on the treadmill or the stairstepper, we understand when a person is sitting on the weight machine and not doing anything, we feel their pain, and know the emotions that are flowing through their bodies, we know that they are trying to get up the strength and energy to keep going. Most of the people at the gym have the same intrest you can see this in the face that most of us are wearing the same brands and drinking the same water, we all want to be healthy and feel better about ourselves, all of us mothers that go there have the need for daycare when we are working out so that is a community within a community. We are only able to work out the hours that the daycare is open, so alot of us moms are on the same schedule and we have got to know eachother(many of us also have our kids in sports through the Y so the is another sub-community) I hope that the community that the community that I have choosen will be one that my children love and want to continue in. There is not to much tension at the gym people are there to relive stress there are people who are very unhappy with their bodies and self you learn to stear clear of those type. I fit in this group beacuse I am there five times a week at four when the child care opens. I have gotten to know many of the four o' clockers. I want to be part of this community beacuse I have never been to a place that I feel so good after leaving I have a saign that "you never regret going to the gym, you always regret not going.

my wallet and it's contents
My wallet and its contents what does this say about me?
Drivers license, YMCA card, three credit cards, AAA card, money tree payday loan card, coupons, and an EVCC identification card. These are the basic things that I have. Weird I have never looked at these things through other “eyes,” if I was to find this wallet I would think that this is a person who lives paycheck to paycheck ( money tree card and three credit cards.) Also here is a person that is a little over prepared (AAA card) I could also be in the same room with this person and if all I had was her driver license picture I would not recognize her. I would also think that she was a slacker due to the amount of expired coupons I was kind of upset because there is a really good Victoria secret coupon that I really wanted to use, this is kind of depressing. I would also draw the conclusion by her EVCC that she was young then I would look at her license that says 07/15/1980, then I would draw the “slacker conclusion” again. I would draw the conclusion that she was lonely because there are no pictures in her wallet. All of these conclusions are semi-wrong.
I say semi-wrong because I am kind of a slacker coming to school after having children, I do not have pictures in my wallet because I switch wallets depending on outfits. I always forget to use coupons hence the expired coupons. I work full time, go to school and have three children, therefore I need a serenity now time (the YMCA card) I love letting off steam at the gym running lifting weights and then sitting in the steam room after that I am ready for anything once again. One conclusion that would be correct would be that I live paycheck to paycheck. It is really hard with three kids I make good money but it seems to never be enough there is always some unexpected expense that pops up (money tree card.) This was a fun and eye opening experiment and I hope that none of my class mates do not say that they have their social security cards in their wallets .
