When Your Mom Visits (Part 2)…

When Your Mom Visits (Part 1)…
Mar. 23, 2012—This semester, I knew I wouldn’t be going home for quite some time because I would once again be going on a mission trip for Spring break. Thus, I was super excited when my mom found really cheap flight tickets and was able to come visit me! As a teacher, she had a week off...

ASB: “A Day in the Life” in San Juan, Texas
Mar. 20, 2012—This is a little blurb about one of my best spring break experiences in my life. I participated in an organization called Alternate Spring Break (ASB) where students travel to different sites domestically and abroad to engage in a week of service. This is definitely a longer blog, but it doesn't even cover HALF the things I wanted to say about this great organization. If you are interested in learning about a unique way to spend your spring break during your time at Vanderbilt (because you should come to Vandy!), then read on!
