Dominican Republic Spring Break: Day 1
Friday 3/4/16 - Embarking on a service learning journey
What started as a seemingly normal Friday during the semester also ended as one of the start of my embark on probably the most exciting and out-of-my comfort zone journeys of my life. As I walked to meet the rest of my spring break, bags packed with a week's worth of toiletries, clothes, and scrubs, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude. Words could not describe how excited I was at the opportunity to spend a week with some of the finest classmates at my school, growing together and becoming cultured in the ways of the Dominicans.
The first leg of our journey to the DR consisted of piling into 4 cars, suitcases and smiles in tow, and driving to Chicago. Nerves and anticipation high, we stayed the night in Chicago, resting up for one of the most incredible adventures of our lives.
