6. Maria's Story

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
Tahoe. Lake TahoeHer Trip
throughout the entire trip was Lake
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"

Her Trip
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"

"This trip has taught me to
have confidence and have a
higher self- esteem because it
matters what you think about
yourself"
