What I liked
I had the best time volunteering in an underprivileged region in Vietnam this past summer. I volunteered with 7 other Division 1 athletes from other schools around the country (I'm on the track team here) and worked alongside 8 Vietnamese college students who were English majors. We taught 8th and 9th graders and lived with a Vietnamese family. The bonds that were formed between American and Vietnamese coaches and students was truly amazing; I have never been grown so close to a group of individuals in such a short period of time. The kids we worked with were sweethearts and just wanted to be hugged, laughed with and talked to. It was the most incredible, life changing experience I have ever been a part of.
