I have been waiting for this trip since I found out I got accepted into the program and I can't believe I'll be leaving in two days. I'm anxious to see the siimiliarities and differences between Buffalo and the Dominican Republic in addition to trying new foods and learning new ideas. I'm also excited to expand my fluency in Spanish. I've sat through many Spanish classes throughout my years in college and I can understand when people speak, but I'm terrible at actually speaking.
There are many small things I have done for preparing for this trip like going to the bank and flagging my credit cards as well as asking my Church for donations for the foundation we are going to work with. When I told people I was going to the Dominican Republic literally everyone had a story for me. A bank teller told me about her trip building houses, a Church member told me how much her daughter enjoyed working with the people, and one of my bosses told me how beautiful it was. I was nervous about this trip at one point because I had a feeling I might get sick, but after hearing everyone's stories I have confidence that nothing bad will happen. All I have left to do now is pack and before I know it January 3 will be here and I will be on a flight to the place that everyone speaks so highly of.

AuthorI am an Elementary Education major with a concentration in Spanish here at Buffalo State College. I love working with kids and hope to one day be an ESL teacher. I love to laugh, dance, and spend time with family. I'm excited to embark on this journey to the Dominican Republic and can't wait to see what's there for me to explore! Archives
