Best Spring Break Ever

This year I went to Galveston Texas with an amazing group of 15 other students to do hurricane relief. Our service projects included painting, clean-up, demolition, reconstruction and working with children. It was the most physically exhausting week of my life but as a group we never laughed so hard and had so much fun.


Our group didn't know everybody before we went but by the time we came home all of us had become the best of friends. We grew to love and appreciate each other for who we are and the talents we have to offer. Serving and working hard with people is the greatest way to really get to know them. I got to see how this group of students worked together in good times, bad times, easy times and hard times. These friendships didn't end with our flight home either. Now that we are all back in school and carrying on with our separate lives, we still contact each other and spend time with each other.
