SMUMN Goes to East Los Angeles
I don't know about you, but it's been a busy last few days! Not only for me, but for most all of the Saint Mary's University students. Tuesday marked the final day of spring semester exams, and a large number of students had already vacated the classrooms and their...

The soul experience thus far has been life changing. I've been to many SOUL trips my four years at Saint Mary's and this trip was different but amazing. It was the first time I helped in classrooms. I was not sure what to expect but I knew that it would feel like a...

To say that this week has been beyond transformational would be an understatement. One of the reasons why I love SOUL so much is because of how it fosters the pillar of transformation. Being with the kids of San Miguel and the Christian Brothers and the Lasallian...

During our time at Tides Family Services, Brother Michael Reese (BMR) told us many times (in his heavy New York accent): "if you don't take risks, you'll never grow." I find this quote to be very applicable to everything I have experienced on this S.O.U.L trip to...

My week in Montana has been far from what I had expected. I expected to arrive in a place that was cold, beautiful, and not all that much different than Minnesota. Well… I was wrong. When I got off the train in Montana I was welcomed by cold, blistery, winter...

Although we are in the school from 7:15-4:30 or later every day, the days seem to go by faster as the week progresses and we grow closer to the students. The students are starting to call us by name and interact with us more. At lunch, Kelsey’s and my lunch disappears...

Today we had a lovely reflection about how Lasallian care is integrated into Ocean Tides (OT) daily services. Before I go into my response I want to share a short saying that got the gears in my head spinning. “Bit by bit, Little by little” Brother Jim Lasallian care...

Dear Diary! So, yesterday I had the opportunity to go out and do what is called "Tracking" basically what that means is I went out with a professional "Tracker" and checked up on kids who are in need of Tides Family Services. Some of these kids have multiple truancy...
