My best part of this week had to be when I went to the beach
with the Dominican kids. The kids were nice, playful and energetic. Since they
all looked up to us they would listen to us. My teammates and I would all play
chicken with them because it seemed that it was their favorite game, and you don't even need to speak Spanish to understand what they wanted to do at the beach, which I thought was wholesome. Even when a counselor would go take a
break they would start playing with each other and they never wanted to leave.
That part of the week was the best and my favorite.
Maybe a tie with the beach was honestly picking up trash with
the kids. As soon as I showed up they were around me and even when we went
picking up trash I still had a little army cleaning up. About an hour later we
went to have lunch and I gave a kid a drink flavor packet and about 3 minutes
later all his friends came up to me wanting some because they have drink flavor packets like we do. It was just an eye opening experience
for what little they have compared to us.
