Good Morning…
…never did I think I’d be making that statement from Arkansas and here I am at the wonderful Southern Arkansas University preparing to begin our first ‘full’ day of the service aspect of our Wake Alternative Spring Break. So far I have had some of the greatest conversations of my life with my classmates as we traveled from North Carolina to Mississippi to Arkansas. I have been challenged, enlightened and encouraged in just a couple of days and look forward to what this week has to hold.
One note about the schools that we noticed right away was the difference in the entire driving situation. For one the cars are campus aren’t all Mercedes, BMW’s, Jaguars, etc. Secondly they only have to pay $20 for a parking permit (no they don’t look anything like ours, so I can’t bring any back friends lol).
Oh yea and on a separate note they have their own dairy farm with livestock on the campus and their own rodeo team! I’m impressed!!! The students here have been VERY welcoming, I honestly feel right at home here. Thanks to Kyle, Corey, Bradley, Drs. Tucker, Mary, Manuela!!!!
Until next time,
Donte’
