Chelsea's feedback on the D.C. Service Trip

For my senior service project, I went to Washington D.C. The trip as a whole taught me a lot about my strengths that I hadn't known I had. I typically do not do community service often. And, in saying that, helping the homeless is such a generous act that makes me feel good about myself. Seeing the smiles of the faces we helped during service is something that I will always remember. The trip inspired me to keep doing community service. I never realized how large the homeless population was in D.C. until the trip. I know that helping in my own community is important, but it was great to see other parts of the nation that needed assistance. Working together with my classmates we discovered the deeper importance of service. After doing the documentary, I focused on all of the positive features of the trip. It was fabulous. I'd like to thank Lincoln and the YSOP organization for the opportunity to let me serve. The experience has encouraged me to keep on giving back, and serving.
