In the summer of 2012 I was given the privilege to travel to West Virginia and work in one of the kids camps. It was stationed in a rougher area and housed children of all races, denominations, and wealth but all had a common need. Many of the kids sought out support and love. The staff had warned us that we needed to show the children support without becoming

Of the many service experiences I experienced this past year, the most impactful was a mission trip to the Dominican Republic.

We took a flight over there, through Miami. I got off the plane into a hot, crowded jungle of people in the airport. Every seat was

making meals for families--all projects promoting my life goal of helping make communities better and serving others, especially the less fortunate. I have been able to go on several mission trips with members of my church volunteering their efforts in completing helpful community projects where needed. These trips changed my life and made me a better person. As a wide-eyed seventh grader, thirty of my peers and I gathered together and went to Akron, Ohio, to help the immigrants and people who were

and far. On the contrary, it is a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good; that is to say to the good of all and of each individual, because we are all really responsible for all." I would really love to go on this mission trip because I have a deep love for the Catholic social teaching of solidarity and I find it immensely important. Being able to embrace people from other cultures and heritages would be an eye opening experience that would help us all grow in community

During the summer of 2016 I attended a mission trip to Lynn Massachusetts. The city of Lynn welcomes refugees and give them a place to stay that helps them establish a good foundation. After the refugees have a good foundation they will disperse around the country to start a better life. Little did I know that during that week my life would be changed.

In our trip, not only did we perform for Spanish speaking Churches in Cape Coral, but we also had a “Faith Boot-Camp”, a service project, and sightseeing. In our tour, we took two days to grow in our faith, and together as a group. We did multiple group challenges, including the Human Pretzel, to stretch our
