During the past week, while being in the Dominican Republic,
I learned more about the people. It's so easy to sit in our air conditioned
homes and yet still complain about going to work the next day or having to do a
simple chore. While being in the DR, I learned that the people were always just
so happy. It didn’t matter to them what they had, they were all just so happy
to have what they could. It really put a different perspective for me, because
I was able to see how overly joyful they truly were. It taught me not to
complain about what I have or have to do. But rather to be thankful for what my
parents have given me. I will definitely look through another perspective while
being home. Overall, the trip was absolutely amazing and I would love to go
back again and see the campers and the people I met. I would recommend that
anyone in 4-H should at least go one. You’ll be able to see through a different
pair of eyes just how blessed we truly are.
