Love for serving


This has been the most astonishing spring breaks I have ever had.

I went with ASB (Alternative Spring Break- SPARC) to Taos, New Mexico to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity.

We spend four days working on two adobe houses. Not only did I get to do something I love, but I met 18 of the most amazing people ever.



It is so nice to meet people who have such a love and passion for serving others. What if there were more people like that. Maybe then poverty wouldn't exist. If even HALF of the students at every university took their spring breaks to do service I guarantee you that the world would be a bit different. But then again, that probably won't happen for along time. There are those students who like going to Padre or Cancun or where ever they go.

Not that going to party places is a bad thing (but I would never go), but if we took the time to spend time working for those in need I know we could make a difference.

What do you say? How are you going to spend your next spring break? The trip to Taos, New Mexico was the best thing I decided to do. Going on this trip showed me why I even went to SMU in the first place. To meet genuine, loving people who have a true heart.



I really believe that EVERYONE would benefit from a trip like this next year. ASB is a wonderful opportunity not only to meet new people, but to make an impact. What kind of an impact are you making?
