Over Spring Break, I went to Houston, Texas with the other members of the Alternative Breaks Group to provide relief from hurricane Harvey. While on this trip I volunteered at a domestic violence shelter, painted the walls of an old woman’s house, and even drywalled and spackled in another home destroyed by the flood waters. On this trip, I learned so many valuable skills and pushed myself out of my comfort zone. this trip has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I am so thankful to have gotten this opportunity.
