I am so glad that I agreed to go on this trip. I believe this is a trip that has affected me in realistic way. The things I have seen in Costa Rica were real; not on a TV or in a book that Ms. Dobie showed us. It was real to the touch. It affects you when you see it fist hand. I am seeing it first hand and I am enjoy it.
Today the senior class and I visited a school. The children were smiling in uniform as we approached the school. You could hear Spanish whispering all around you. Thinking what are they saying with that glowing smile on their face? I leaned toward Benny to ask them what are they saying? He replies “They are saying, why he so tall” I laughed and smiled.
Once we had everything up and ready for the children, we started to make crowns and necklaces for the kids. I loved every moment even though I was feeling sick. I still pushed on making things and giving out clothes. It wasn’t about me or the group; it was about the kids and their smiles. I enjoy giving the children a smile for a short time. I wish it was for a longer time then a day.
Then shortly after we got done with the children and the school, some of the senior class went river rafting. I was thinking before I got in the boat, “Why I am doing this? I can’t even swim!” Once we got in the water and started going I was great. If you haven’t done river rafting yet in your life, you should go and you will have a wonderful time with whom ever you go with.

Sounds Amazing!!!! We want to see more pictures!! Mr. Rice
I'm impressed that you went even though you don't swim. I'm sure it was something you'll be talking about for a long time. Can't wait to hear more details! Ms. Beeching
KENDALL!!!
Keep writing it is your freedom. I'm thinking about escaping from California and coming down there to share the experience. I SHOULD BE THERE. Give love to everyone, I miss you all.

Hey Kendall...Its your sister Candyce. I am glad you wrote something. I was reading it to my friend and she said yeah Kendall is pretty tall.
But on a serious note, seeing how other people live is a passion of mine. I have traveled to two other countries, China and Mexico. And seeing the country and how the people live is an amazing experience. I am glad that you went on the trip too. You are not a worldwide traveler. Love ya!!!
