I just got back from my third college trip to the Dominican Republic, my 4th total trip in five years. This country has such a special place in my heart and I know for a fact that is not the last I've seen of my Dominican family. However, it's the first time I don't have a definite plan for going back. And it makes me sad.
This past week I and the group (15 STUDENTS!!) learned from the Dominicans to
live passionately
love actively
care selflessly.
The things I've learned from this country are countless and I am forever grateful. It's crazy that a random decision to travel to an unknown place one summer in high school could have changed my life so much.
