Last two testimonials!

Hey students,

Here are the last two testimonials from the Spring breaks ASBs. Hope you all had a great 15th week!

During the Joplin trip it was great to meet students from other schools that also took time out of their spring break to go out and help others. We are still in contact with them. Overall we had a great experience and got to meet great people that will stay in my life for years to come. Making a difference at least for one person is always worth it. Not do you only help someone, but you also get the chance to grow inside as a person and learn about yourself.

This trip changed my perspective on life. I am now more conscious of how the littlest things can make the biggest impact. I was amazed to see how strong the community of Joplin is and how thankful they were for the work we did. I appreciate the hospitality the people of Joplin showed us and I can't wait to go back.

More testimonials and other information

First of all, if you know of a student on UNL campus who has shown good character lately fill out Franco's list at the bottom of the show your red page here http://engage.unl.edu/showyourred.shtml. They could be recognized for their good character especially in the areas of caring, citizenship, commitment, dependability, open-mindedness, or respect.

Now for the testimonials!

-The Pine Ridge trip was the most impressive one I have ever been on. We had the most wonderful group members. As a foreigner, I experienced different and friendly memories. I will never forget the cute smiling faces of the kids in Shannon Public County School in Oglala. We have the responsibility to help the kids there. A little contribution makes the world different.

-Realizing that the kids I had become so close with were likely to become a statistic was a very profound moment for me. The ASB experience will stick with me forever.

Hope you all enjoy these and hope it makes you want to participate in the next alternative service break!
