crammed up on a flight headed for Sao Paulo‚ Brazil to watch my favorite sport: soccer. For months before the trip started‚ I dreamed about the skyscrapers and the stadiums and the passionate fans I expected from all over the world. Little did I know that what I was about to experience in those 10 days was nothing like I anticipated. The day of our first game was two days into our trip. I clutched my blue and yellow ticket tightly in my hand as we boarded the train to go to the stadium. “So many

This past summer I volunteered to go on a mission trip to a small town on the west side of Tennessee‚ called Somerville.

An unforgettable memory The silence was so dense and heavy I could almost feel it but it was always like that between me and dad. He had told me to go grocery shopping with him because we had come back after the summer vacation and there was no proper and edible grocery at home‚ so we were headed to the local store.

I never realized how lucky I was to be granted such a stupendous life until I saw the poverty some people live in. Over the summer‚ I was fortunate enough to be able to take an ephemeral trip to Nassau‚ Bahamas. It was much different than I imagined it would be.
