Hey guys, it's Tyric and I would say what makes my community family-oriented is when we were younger, our dads used to coach us and just going over each other's house, we used to spend the night, go show up to the ballpark, play with each other and I would say they all instilled in us to just always have each other's back and just when you see one person down, always pick them up and I would just say that that's just big in the community, like just always trying to help one another and I would say our dads, like growing up, that would expect us to, that would help us to raise a family in this type of environment, that's an environment you would want to raise a family in, someone that's always trying to help each other, we always, when we see someone down, we just always try to pick them up and I would say that's good in the Gwinnett County environment.
