Amazing

Hey anyone reading! This trip was AMAZING!! I have been doing New York/ Philadelphia service learning for three years now! I can't believe next year will be my last :( but at least I got to do what I could! Everything has been such an exciting journey. I've made many self discoveries as well as discover things about new friends I make on the trips! This week I've painted a daycare/ childcare kind of place and I got plenty of paint on me, leaving me with people paint handprints and a line on my back from when I accidentally backed into the doorway haha. Then the next day we cleaned up a beach on Staten Island. So cool, we saw cool stuff, like a horshue crab. I dragged log after log of wood off the beach so it'd be nice and dug up trash and carried around bags of trash which though it may not sound fun, is totally thrilling apparently (and quite a workout!) Then we delivered some meals to elderly people who couldn't leave their homes, they were so sweet and I loved seeing and talking to them. Today we went to a Latin American festival and helped set up and talked to some of the performers. I'm so happy to have been able to serve with such a great group. I can't thank the group and chaperones enough for what they've done and accomplished. I'm going to miss this all sooo much!! I can't believe how fast it all went by. Well it is late and I need rest so I can get up and go home.
