My earliest memory was when I traveled to the Dominican Republic for spring break. This was the first time I have ever flown and have left the country. One word that I would use to describe my surroundings would be "electric." What I mean is that it is just as incredible as you would actually imagine! The sunsets are beautiful, the weather is extremely humid, and the beach is endless! We also took a trip around outside the resort we stayed in. We visited the schools and they were very run down. It was difficult to see that they are struggling and they weren't much older than me. The entire group of us donated to the teacher for new books and supplies and desks. This is one of the most moving things I have seen and nothing felt better than to help those in need. The trip was an eye opener for me to be grateful for what I have. We have it so good in America and we are fortunate to have what we have.
