Alternative Spring Break to Los Angeles was a very
meaningful, fun, and inspiring experience.
Coming from the West Bloomfield “bubble” in Southeast Michigan I have
rarely seen the poverty and struggles that the students of Woodcrest Elementary
go through each and everyday. Looking
back upon the beautification and gardening projects we completed for this
school I feel that we as a group absolutely made an impact on these students
and community. As a Pre-med major this
trip means little for my career path; however, that is not to say that it did
not change me and effect me. Social
justice is an important issue that must be worked towards in any way possible,
and I’m happy this trip gave me the opportunity to give back. I hope the passion for community service and
social justice that I now feel burns just as feverishly within me as it does
with the other 53 participants. This
trip has changed my life and I’m grateful that I’ve had this experience.
