Best Week Of My Life

I recently went on a trip to the Dominican Republic with some friends to teach impoverished Dominican children English and life lessons. Although it was only a week, I can firmly say that this trip changed my life in the way that no other experiences have before. I loved the country, the food, the people. I would not change a single aspect of my time at the DR. Next summer I hope to travel again to the country and change even more lives (while they change my life as well).

Service missions are so important; they teach people how to be patient, open to new experiences, and independent. I am so thankful for the opportunity to travel to the DR, and for all of the amazing friendships that I made.

I taught kids from ages 4 to 12. I had to write different lesson plans for every day, and craft exciting ways to teach kids English and the idea of honesty. It challenged me in ways that I have not been challenged before.

We had one day off to hike and go to the beach. It was a great way to end the amazing journey! The water was so warm, and the whole day was so breathtaking.

Safe travels.

XOXOXO,
