Finally, I just want to thank everyone who was instrumental in creating
this trip. I apologize if this sounds like an Oscar’s acceptance speech.
Although I certainly believe I do deserve an Oscar, it will never happen. I
just am amazed that everyone has come together to help make this trip so
amazing, and I appreciate all the time that was put into this by everyone.
Thank you to Walter and Aubrey for helping me and Kelly prepare for the
trip, and thank you to Patrick Grayshaw for being such a great advisor to Bear
Breaks.
To all of the New Orleans participants – Thank you so much for coming
on this journey with us. You are all such hard workers and I really enjoyed
getting to know you and growing with you all!
Amanda Gabbard – We all really appreciate the many hours that you have
put in to all of these trips. You are awesome, and none of these trips would
have been so great without all of your help!
Jared Cates and Michelle Ciesielski – You are both awesome advisors. I
really appreciate that you listened and gave awesome advice. Whether it was
about the trip or life in general, you were very understanding and genuine, and
I am glad I was able to open up with you and talk to you about everything. I
have no doubt that you will both do great things working with students in the
future. I really look up to both of you very much.
Kelly Mazzoni – Thank you for planning this trip with me! I really
enjoyed working with you and getting to know you for the past year. Even though
we “bicker like a married couple” all of the time, I really have enjoyed it
all. Thank you for dealing with me for so long. Come visit me in Cincinnati!
Thank you to anyone else who has assisted us throughout the process.
The past two years’ alternative breaks have been my favorite college
experiences, and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. Thank you!
