If I had to
describe this trip in one word, it would be amazing. For the past couple of
days I have wanted to go back, to see the children, to see my friends, and most
of all, to feel the satisfaction of giving back to such a loving group of
people . The Dominican Republic has taught me to understand that life has its
ups and downs, the unforgetting moments of despair, the hardship
that is
brought through adversity, but with the Dominicans, none of this matters. They
are such a happy group of people and having the opportunity to go down to their
country and give back to them is something I will never forget. This trip makes
you realize that the world around us is not the same, it has similarities, but
the all around atmosphere is not the same. It makes you
more fortunate for what
you have and gives you a cultural shock. I can not say enough about this
program and this is my second year doing it. I felt that I would not feel the
same feelings as last year when working with the children, but I was incorrect,
the cultural shock still hit me hard. I would like to thank everyone who put
this trip 
together because it has honestly changed my life
forever and I will
never forget the smiling faces of the children, the friends I made, and the
communities we helped change.
