So I was just minding my own business, actually I was very sad and depressed because of some situations happening at home. I was really starting to think this was the worst beginning to a year I have ever had. But suddenly my mom gives me a call because she got this email about the opportunity of going to the Dominican Republic to help out in a mission trip. When she said that I tough it was the best opportunity to get out and just get my mind off of things. Then I thought wait I have heard stories of mission trips where the people had to stay in a basement of a church and it just wasn’t the best thing if you’re depressed to sleep in a basement. But at the same time the person who send the email is a very good friend and he was going. My mom told him to call me to give me more information of what we were doing down there. After he told me that we were going to be translators for the University of Memphis nurses that where going to help the needed in D.R. After he told me that and I read a quote he put at the end of the email by the famous Puerto Rican baseball player Roberto Clemente "when ever you have the opportunity to help the world and you don’t you are waiting your time in earth". To me that alone is a great inspiration to go and help other no matter where I’m going to stay. I agreed so I will be heading there on Monday for the spring break. At the same time I will be seeing healthcare in a different perspective that could help my paper later.
