7. Helping Her
Community
" I’ve always wanted to help out
in my community but was never
motivated enough. This trip was
the motivation I needed. I am
now going to look into assisting
in a hospital or soup kitchen.
Volunteering is an easy way to
help out in the community that
can make a big difference. This
trip gave me the confidence to
really be a big impact my
community in the coming years
and the rest of my life. "

9. Highlights of
Her Trip
"My favorite place we traveled to
throughout the entire trip was Lake
Tahoe. Lake Tahoe is honestly the most
stunning body of water I have ever seen
in my life. I fell in love with its 3
different colors of water as a boat took
us out into the deeper part of the lake
to do tubing. The shore has bits of
gold-like glitter in the crystal clear
water, making it shine. If you move
farther out into the lake, the water turns
turquoise like the Caribbean water. The
deepest part of the lake is a dark blue,
like that of the Greek islands"
11. Highlights of
Her Trip
"Camping was a good
experience because we got to
bond and help each other. We
helped each other when we had
to make the tents. We bonded
when we had a campfire and
made s’mores"
12. Helping Her
Community
"This trip has taught me to
have confidence and have a
higher self- esteem
because it matters what
you think about yourself"
