New Orleans Reflection by Jackie Robertson

The trip to new orleans was GREAT. It felt so good to help people who really needed us. it was also interesting to finally experience what it was like for people who lived there during Katrina, rather than just seeing it on television. It was sad to see the damage, but it just showed how much work still needed to be done there. Near the end of the trip, we discussed about how when we would get home, we would hopefully be a little changed and have a different view about everything. this trip definitely made me realize how lucky we are and how helping people who need it - even if its the smallest thing - makes everything overall better. Each day after all the hard work, we got to do something fun. whether it was nightcrossing, partying in the french quarter, pulling pranks on the guys, it was all so fun and it brought everyone closer. I'm really happy I went on the worktrip this year and I'm looking forward to doing it again in the future!
