3.8.15

Hmmm. The Dominican Republic.  Sounds exotic and fun, right?  Well that's why I'm going.  During June 2015, me and about 15 other students will depart to the Dominican Republic.  I am so excited, the trip is going to be so much fun!  I think I will learn so much on this trip!  So far, I don't know much about the Dominican Republic.  All I know is that a few years ago I really wanted to go there on Spring Break.  It also sounds very sunny and warm.  Hmmm, what else do I know?  I know it is located in the Caribbean and boarders Haiti.  They speak Spanish (pretty obvious huh?), they have great Merengue music, and I don't know much else.  Before I go on this trip I want to learn a little more about this place, I want to know what the people are like, the food, the culture, the towns, etc... The Dominican Republic seems like such a great place! I can't wait to experience it for myself!  While I am on this trip I hope to learn.  I want to learn what other people live like outside of the United States.  I want to learn what it is like to help people, to build, to teach.  For a long time I have wanted to go on a service learning program.  I hope this inspires me to do more service learning work!  I am so excited to go to such an amazing place with amazing people!
