Mayo For Metro

Community.  Broken down, embodies a group of people that share something in common. Whether that something is ownership in property, values and beliefs, interest and goals, or just living in the same area. We all inhabit or are apart of different communities. Workplaces, schools, neighborhoods, and religious organizations are probably the most common and most easily identified communities. What is interesting and common among all communities is the need for UNITY to be prevalent for the general well being and success of the group. Unfortunately, in identifying with a particular community you quickly become aware of the things that you do not identify with, thus creating adversaries, competition, and walls of ideology. This is where and why I have chosen to get involved in the Metropolitan Community College Board of Governors. I have a heart and vision of seeing Omaha a unified city. Just as the ring is often the symbol of unity in a marriage I see the Big O being a symbol of unity to this country. My heart is to move Omaha into a direction of cohesion amongst the various sub-communities represented by her people. To dissolve the boundaries of West, North, East, and South O to promote a city of One. A city of people that sets selfishness aside and loves their neighbor.
