In our lives we encounter many communities of practice that engage us as learners, teachers, parents, and other roles we fill in our lives. The community that we communicate with will affect our lives good or bad. We choose to communicate within our communities and they can be very beneficial to us. Participating in a variety of communities broadens our knowledge and extends our powers. Being part of a community you feel like you are a part of a unit and having that support of the unit is a beneficial thing. When I communicate with my community throughout the day I look forward to hearing from them from a recent update I have given then and I also I look forward to hearing about their lives through their updates. I also like it when I can rely on my community to provide an honest opinion in a recent decision or promote my personal business. We rely on our communities of practice to keep our lives in balance. We also rely on our communities for problem solving, gathering information, personal experiences, assets, coordination, developments, and projects. I feel that if we loose our communities or not participate in our communities our lives and choices we make are affected. Even in this program having our community of practice helps us define our identity and discuss problems and solutions. This program would be a pretty boring and difficult if I did not have the support from my classmates.
