I am a Health Science student at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri. Over the past few years of living among the residents, I've realized that their quality of life is so much different than my hometown. Adair County is located in the rural area of northeast Missouri. As of 2010, it is home to 25,607 residents, all scattered among four cities and two villages. Over half of this population is made up of adult citizens. Many of these adult residents do not live within the towns and can be somewhat secluded from the rest of the community due to the necessity of commuting to reach the more populated areas of the county. When community members were asked, “What brings everyone together?” the majority of the responses are essentially, “Meetings, events, errands, and work.” A major element of a good quality of life is social wellness. The children citizens in the Adair community have the opportunity to socialize through school and after-school programs, in addition to having more free time than their parents. Adults tend to forget about the importance of socialization and label it as a lower priority, especially in this area, where farmlands and wide open spaces are the norm. Human beings need to interact with each other and the Adair County community offers a variety of ways to do just that, I just don't think the adult community is taking advantage of it as much as they should.
