Glad I Went

Going to Puerto Rico was one of the most eye-opening experiences I have had in my life. I had the pleasure to work with peers who have gone through the same program I have and being able to see how much we have all grown. I got the chance to bring the charisma and energy that the people of Puerto Rico showed me back to New Jersey and into my service. Not only did I get to see locals smile and see how appreciative they were, I got to be appreciative to them for all they have given me. I learned how to be resilient in times of adversity, I learned you have to help others just as you would help yourself, and I learned how important a community is. There are countless other things that I learned and I am so grateful for it all.
