American Creed

My American Creed is all about the strong sense of community within Bay Village and Bay High. We are all about support and unity, which shapes the Bay Village as a whole, outlining our values and goals. The community that I live in is like no other, coming together for high school sport games, festivals like Bay Days, and community service or activities for the students in school. Bay Village amazingly reflects the core American Dream values, such as equality, respect, and opportunity.

The friendships and connections that I have just within Bay are powerful, showing how strong we can be as a country if everyone works peacefully together for the good of the people. Our school, for example, hosts or helps with community service projects and opportunities that benefit those who volunteer as well as those who are receiving the service. It is a great way to support those who are in need of help. Local, family owned businesses are also a huge way that our community supports one another in Bay. We always pack local restaurants and store fronts, such as Chatty's or the Print Shop, supporting local, small businesses and families that often give back to their community too. Further, the support and care that students receive from teachers and even their classmates or peers is outstanding in Bay. The teachers make huge impacts on students, both in their education and real life. Whether it is school help, emotional help, or just being there for one another, there is always going to be someone there to help in Bay Village. Finally, the fun activities that we have in Bay are incredible. Festivals, pool days, Huntington Beach, sports, and school dances are just a few of the hundreds of events that hold the community together. 

Bay Village, or "The Bubble", is truly one of a kind. The people that I have grown very close with over the years such as my neighbors, best friends, favorite teachers, and even just classmates have really shown and outlined my American Dream: a community full of support, friendship, family, and love.
