Chicago

I’m a senior, so this was my last opportunity to participate in an alternative break.  I loved every moment primarily because of the people I met. The students at Muchin, the teachers, my fellow participants, trip advisor, and  trip leaders, made this spring break one to remember. The students made me smile because they were just as excited to see me, as I was to see them. We left, at the end of the week, learning more from them then they learned from us. The teachers showed us how passionate they were about teaching. To work everyday from 7am-6pm and then work at home on curriculum, grading, and lesson planning and still be excited about your job takes passion.  My fellow participants were very supportive and made the trip fun and exciting. Our trip advisor was able to watch after us, but still allowed the trip leaders to guide us. Lastly, our trip leaders effectively guided us through our service trip. They not only planned this wonderful trip, but helped us reflect on the week’s service. By the end of the week I was sad to say bye to all these people, but I knew it wasn’t bye forever. I never knew how much a week could impact my life until this trip and I am glad I took the opportunity to go on an alternative break. Thanks to everyone who made this an awesome trip!
