Hello there! I’m an international student from China. I really really appreciate this great chance provided by BearBreaks program which has widen my horizen and taught me a lot. I saw the application of this immersion trip to Kansas City last month and impressed by its mission which aims at helping more people in need. I am so grateful to be selected and know my nice and helpful teammates. The leaders of the group are so great. They take good care of all members and arrangements go very well. We explored Kansas City and create many happy and unforgetable moments. We served at Holy Cross Catholic School with Alumni and did fun recess activities with the kids. I really enjoy the moments when we connected with each other. Furthermore, we prepared and served two meals at Ronald McDonald House to the families there with alumni. We are so proud of being bears and learn a lot from helping others. Though 3-day trip is short, our team worked in unity and cooperated with each other. I love the relaxing and happy atmosphere in the group. And I can feel the kindness from my good teammates. We did really had a wonderful time in KC!!! In addition, charity system in Kansas is sound. The facilities in Ronald McDonald House is very cool! I’ll keep helping the people in need after I back to Springfield. In a word, I love my team, I love this trip and I am looking forward to our next trip! And Bear Break Program is really a good platform for students to experience different conditions and gain a lot to enrich themselves. Go bears!
