    This document summarizes the discourse communities of Elvira B Medina. It identifies four communities: her family, where she uses letters, cards, emails and social media to stay connected and share feelings; as a cocktail waitress where she uses notes, receipts and messages to take orders and communicate with customers and coworkers; as a wrestling mom where she uses posters, fliers and emails to plan fundraising events and communicate with coaches and parents; and as a UTEP biology student where she takes notes, emails and reads materials to learn about experiments and stay informed in her courses. Each community has its own specialized language.
