Spring break

My spring break was great.  Our spring break was from March 24 to April 1.  I participated in the  TaB trip to Chicago.  TaB stands for take a break.

 It was a volunteer trip.  There were 14 members in my group which included 12 students and 2 advisers.  Our topic was the immigration issue.  It was very hard for me, because I was not familiar with this topic and most of the members were Willamette University students.  Although I was stressed out when this trip fnished, I got precious friends and memories.  We did many activities to change the bad treatment of immigrants, for example, we did walking and made signs. 

Also we made many sandwiches for the walkers.

 In addition, we discussed how to do walking.  We gave many opinions for the organazation which is the Justice Mission.  Not only did these we do volunteer works but also we listened to many sad stories from immigrants.  Furthermore, we went to the court and watched hearings.  This experience shocked me.  Eventhough these periods were very hard for us, we had fun in other time.  We did many snack parties. We talked and laughed a lot.

 After that, our group did 2 or 3 hours of reflections every night.  Reflections were really hard for me though members devised a way to make me easy to understand and made me feel comfortable to ask questions.  For example, they use easy verb for me when they said their opinions.  It was very helpful to me.  I think my English skills improved because of this time.  Finally, we walked cool downtown and beach in Chicago.

        I baught many souvenirs there.

 I got unforgettable memories and friends through the TaB trip.  I want to make use of this experience in my life.
