It’s the night before we depart for our ASB trip to Tennessee! I am SO excited to not only get to know the people on my trip, but also to expose myself to a completely different culture. I hope to leave a great mark as a Lafayette College community in this area, as we are the first Lafayette College group to go to Tennessee as an ASB trip. Applying for the trip, I was extremely intrigued by the environmental aspect and am really looking forward to this part. I am also really looking forward to working with the people of the Cherokee Community, which includes people from the children to the elderly. I really hope to connect to the people in the community and to make a positive difference. I also plan to bring something from this usually untraveled area, back to Lafayette College, in order to educate the community.
