During our visit to Rome, we were privileged to visit the Coliseum. Just standing inside the Coliseum gave me chills as I envisioned being in the movie Gladiator and actually experiencing the history of that era. I could picture Russell Crowe in the center fighting for his privileges and recalling how he depicted life at this time in history.

My cultural experience in the Dominican Republic was extremely an amazing trip. The Dominicans way of life differ from ours in many different ways such as, gender roles, economy, relationships, education, dynamics of the family, and much more. Although their culture is different, it doesn’t mean they develop a wrong way to live; however, they were able to seek out a simpler and more benefiting way to support and contribute to their daily needs. Because of these differences, we were able to get the opportunity to visit a country of poverty with so many people looking for a helping hand. These people needed someone to hear their stories, to show compassion and love towards them. As you begin to open up your hearts and minds to deepen your understanding of the Dominican culture, you will be able to also learn about the way they live, their perspective of things, and as well as the history behind the Dominican people

The second is that it was an amazing and rewarding experience that I will never forget. This was my first mission trip and I can't wait to go on another. If you ever get the chance to go on any sort of trip that lets you volunteer, definitely take that opportunity.
