Trip summary

This senior trip experience was very different from what I had expected. I personally had somewhat low expectations due to the work aspect of the trip, though the whole experience proved to be much different. The work was actually enjoyable at times, and allowed me to interact with students who I was barely on a first name basis with. Also, working with students from local high schools was rare opportunity. This cultural aspect of it I felt could have had more time dedicated to it, as walking the french quarter shopping was one of the more enjoyable parts, though seemed to go by much too quickly. Regardless, the trip was a very unique and enjoyable experience which I know will last a lifetime. On top of this, I was fortunately able to make some new friendships over the course of this trip.
