This past summer I had the incredible opportunity to go on a mission trip in Ecuador where I worked in an orphanage partaking in labor work‚ as well as‚ traveled out into the cities bordering Quito to organize VBSs (vacation bible schools)in startup churches .

When you hear the word valuable‚ what do you think of? I think of diamonds‚ antique pottery from ancient Egypt‚ and of course‚ the 8th grade Washington D.C. trip! Touring the nation’s capital created precious‚ lifelong memories that I will never forget. Viewing incredible monuments‚ memorials‚ and museums was breathtaking. I made many new friends and received the opportunity to practice adulthood. It was an experience future 8th graders should obtain. Sightseeing in Washington was crazy. Seeing

would you want to go on a mission trip to your own backyard”. I’m sure for most people‚ spending a week and a half of summer in downtown Akron‚ Ohio does not seem fun. I‚ however‚ thought otherwise.

My School Trip In the 1990s‚ I went to Regent elementary school in the Bronx‚ N.Y and was a B student. I wasn’t an honor roll student‚ though I believe I could’ve been if I had put in the effort to do so.

There are not very many big things in my life that have changed the person I am now but I think that my first trip to Hawaii may be one of the very few events that have. I think that through this experience I have since loved exploring and traveling to new places which is a quality that I think is a big part of who I am. On the night of my birthday in December of 2014 as I finished opening my last present my mom went upstairs‚ when she came back down I noticed she had something in her hand. As she

small memory follows you for the rest of your life. This is just one of those things‚ and even though it’s small...I’m perfectly fine with that. During the summer‚ I was able to go on a mission trip to Cass Lake‚ Minnesota; where we stayed for about a week or so.

a road trip to Colorado with my church group. It was supposed to be one of the best weeks of our lives‚ and it was. We still reminisce about Colorado and talk about going back and visiting almost every single day. The experiences we gained while working with others is one that taught me valuable lessons. Up until I went on this trip‚ I was a sand-in-your-hair‚ sand-on-your-feet‚ salt water type of person. I could have lived on the beach my entire life and still never feel as if I’ve had my fill of
