This is my first Bear Breaks trip and it has been an amazing experience so far. Our group started off as strangers and grew closer during the three-hour car ride from Springfield to St. Louis.
Today our group went to Greenway Greening and Earth Dance to learn more about combating homelessness and hunger. The work that was done during our 9 am – 4 pm service was mainly manual labor. One thing that this group taught me was how to keep a positive attitude at all times, which was incredible. When I was feeling down and tired, they reminded me of the goal at hand and kept me going. At the end, seeing the finished product was rewarding for all because it was accomplished as a team.
