Tanner M. – Snowshoeing

Today was the fourth day in the classroom. I switched from helping with the sixth grade to the fourth grade today. I really enjoyed getting to know a whole other class and see how their personalities and maturities differentiated from that of the sixth graders. I...

Denise – Learning About Other Communities

Today, I went to Mexico for the first time and it was a nice experience. We went to go visit Women of Hope & Faith and they were a lively group of women. I had a chance to talk to them and translate what my other friends had to say to them. It was so heartwarming...
