“Plans to give you hope and a future.”
My kiddos are so young, but they are already accomplishing so much. I have students with dreams of becoming surgeons. I have students writing grants. I have students who can play multiple instruments. I have students with more dreams than their minds can organize. My experiences these past 8ish months have taught me how to dream again. I may not know whether dancing, engineering, or teaching is the dream, but I have begun to listen to the sound of hope again.
Surviving
I am happy and proud to report that I am in the midst of my 3rd year as a Dominican Volunteer. It has truly been “an opportunity of a lifetime” for me.
Answering the Call: “I was imprisoned, and you visited me.”
I was first called to do this by a good friend of mine and fellow volunteer, Alecx, when they told me they were a Dominican Volunteer and said I should apply too. After a week of consideration, I finally applied, and was accepted not too long after.
Home for the Holidays
Life in Houston matches life in any other part of Texas; laid back and simple. Good food, sunny days, and good company is all you need to have a good day. Nestled in the neighborhoods of this laid back city, is my little corner of Houston, Casa de Esperanza. Here, the days are anything but simple, which tends to happen when you’re taking care of children.
