Today we did service with another alternative break group in order to honor Martin Luther King Jr., the group that we did service with happens to be the GCP alternative break group that is going to New Orleans. The students were very excited about the services they would be doing for their school and eagerly volunteered to do many of the activities that were not as pleasant (heavy lifting). Their positive attitude and excitement to serve the community really put our group in better spirits throughout the day.
The highlight of the service day for me though was lunch when we were required to be tied together and eat. I have always enjoyed eating very close to my neighbor, and felt that this particular activity allowed me to get to know the students of GCP alternative break program better. I loved that we were required to work together to make food and then eat the food. My peanut butter and jelly tasted delicious when it was completely finished, and eating it was an obstacle that could easily be conquered with team work. I loved the solutions the students came to and it demonstrated to me that they will have a very team oriented trip, and a great time in New Orleans.
The rest of our day included sleeping or going in the lake for some of our group. Now we are having movie time, and enjoying a soon to be family classic UP. I hope it will allow us to get our spirits up for tomorrow, and the rest of our amazing trip!
And with that I must say good night Gaston,
Katie
