Danielle Crawford – Elementary Education major /Psychology minor /
Senior </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">

difference in the lives of underprivileged children.” </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Natalie Bannister – Elementary Education & Special Education major
/ Senior </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">

as a future teacher for my students, whether that be a parent, shoulder to cry
on or someone to look up to.” </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Kasha Tafoya – Elementary Education / Spanish minor / Senior </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“When Mr. Matt said that there was a child in Maryville,
MO that needs me, it just made me realize that I need to open up my eyes, arms
and heart to the communities I’m a part of and start making a difference
there.” </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Lindsay Stapley – Psychology and Comprehensive Crisis Response
major / Senior </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“I’ve done service work before this trip, but I realized
that I need to take the initiative and inform others about poverty in America
and get them involved in making a difference.” </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Jena Sosnowchik – Elementary Education major / Early Childhood
Development and Spanish minors / Sophomore </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“The trip really opened my eyes to all of the things that
I’ve seen on the news, such a kids who live in poverty and such. The trip was a
really great way to make a difference in their lives and show the children that
there is a different kind of life out there.” </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Kathryn Burnett – Industrial Psychology major / Sophomore </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“ It really put things into perspective, such as how we
think marriage is something that just happens or college, but for these
children, that’s not their first priority. Things like getting food and surviving are their main
priorities.” </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Madilynn Kettle – Elementary & Special Education / Senior </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“What I took away from this trip the most was how good
that we have it and how bad some people have it. They don’t even realize how bad they have it, because they
don’t see how good we have it.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“The thing that affected me the most was when my child
for the week, Xavier, said ‘When I’m big, I’m gonna go to college just like
you, Ms. Madi.’ That made me want
to stay in contact with the Frazee Dream Center, and I am already planning a
trip back for this summer.” </div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Diana Reyes – Spanish major / Business minor / Sophomore </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“All three organizations were really eye-opening for me,
especially Harvest Hope food bank and the Frazee Dream Center. I have always known that children have
gone without food or are living in poverty, but I never realized the severity
of it, especially in South Carolina.
They gave me inspiration to do something in my own community.” </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Andrea Potter – Pre-Pharmacy (Chemistry) major / Senior </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“One thing I learned is that people who have needs, like
food or shelter, are closer to my world than I originally perceived. I really enjoyed interacting with
everyone that we got to help. It’s
cool to see how people, even though they are busy, still want to help others
and recognize that they make a difference.” </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Lindsay Brison – Elementary Education major / Early Childhood
Development minor / Sophomore</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“I learned that it only takes one person to make a change
in the lives of others. I didn’t
realize how privileged I was growing up and this trip made me appreciate
everything that my parents have done for me.” </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Hannah Jelden – Pre-Dental Hygiene major / Freshman</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“It made me realize how ungrateful I was for the things I
have. I don’t have to worry about
not eating lunch or that I won’t have a place to live. It made me feel so fortunate for the
life I have and made me realize that I shouldn’t complain about how good I have
it.” </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Silver Love – Pre-professional Zoology major /
Biochemistry minor / Junior</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“Working with the children and seeing how underprivileged
they are, made me see how good we have it here, but we just go on living our
lives never thinking about it.
Getting the chance to see it firsthand, makes you think about how we
take the little things in life for granted, but those things to them are
unknown.” </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Sarah Zajic – Biology/Psychology major / Freshman</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“Things such as listening to the children’s stories about
all the struggles that they went through, and yet children would walk up and
grab my hand, made me realize how happy they were for us to be there.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Samantha Sciara – Speech and Theater Education / Senior </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“It’s different to know that there are people out there
who are struggling with food and shelter, than to actually see their faces and
see the whole Frazee Dream Center full of kids who are struggling.” </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Ashley Herring – Public Relations major / Senior </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“The most impacting part of this year’s trip is seeing
people of all ages who are in unfortunate situations but still approach life
with the most positive attitude and are always smiling. It puts whatever is
troubling in your life into perspective and makes you realize that what may
seem bad is not as bad as it seems. I learned that waking up everyday
determined to make each day a
positive one for you or someone else, is the best way to approach life. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Jamie Harrison
- Psychology major / Administration of Childcare Programs minor / Senior </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“Being the president of ASB and having people come up to
me with their ideas and feelings, seeing them connect with others on the trip
and the people we worked with, showed me how much love human beings are capable
of and inspired me to continue serving others after I graduate.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Amanda Parr – Psychology and Sociology major / Senior </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“This trip has helped me realize that even if you have a
little, you can still help people a lot.
For instance, the family of the two girls I worked with, even though
they were in a tough situation themselves, took in another child from the
Frazee Dream Center. Even if you
don’t have a lot to offer, little things can go a long way.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Tamika Beasley – International Business major / Senior </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“’Change the world one person at a time’” has always been
one of my quotes to live by. Prior
to this trip, my interpretation of the “one person” was the one who was being
helped. However, after this trip it occurred to me that that “one person” could
actually be yourself.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Shawnta Addison – Business Management major / Senior</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“I was pleased to be able to come on this trip to try and
make a difference in others’ lives. It was not so much a learning experience
for me, but a chance to go and help others and let them know that the world is bigger than where
they live and they are able to go beyond Greenville. I was once one of those
children and I have grown and have overcome my hard times as a child. One day I
hope to go back and work with the kids at Frazee!”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Tara Eckrich – Psychology and Sociology major / Freshman </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“It was a big eye-opener that there are actually kind
people out there like Matt and Jenny that would drop everything for kids in
need. It was also a big eye-opener to see and hear some of what the kids’ lives
are actually like. Life-changing experience is the only way I can describe it.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Elizabeth Bettes – Child and Family Studies major / Psychology
Minor / Sophomore </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“On this trip, I learned to view people differently, not
take things for granted and to respect people for who they are.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Anna Sutton – Missouri Academy </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“ I went on the trip because I had someone in my life who
made a difference and I wanted to be that for someone else. I was surprised by how attached I got
to the children at the Frazee Dream Center and how hard it was to leave.” </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
Allie LaRocca
- Physical Education major / Senior</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="color: white;">
“It reinforced the fact that any little bit you do can
help and that the amount of people you’re reaching is greater than you
think. You have to start out with
the means you have and then greater things will come.”<br />
<div style="color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: white;">
Liz Pleskac - Spanish major / Journalism minor / Sophomore </div>
<div style="color: white;">
"I loved working with all the organizations we partnered with and all the members of ASB. I became friends with people who I might never have even met if I didn't go on this trip. It was an amazing overall experience and I wouldn't have traded it for any other spring break experience."</div>

Our service part of the trip came to an end today. We split up between the three organizations in the morning that we had done for all the other work days. Then, we went to the Frazee Dream Center a little bit early, so that we could have some time to talk about the week with the owner, Mr. Matt. It was really hard for everyone to say goodbye to the kids, but we know they are in great hands at the center. We are so grateful for being able to experience working with such great people this week. </div>

Just as the first two days, we split up into three groups in the morning again and worked with the same organizations. During lunch, we went back to the hotel so that we could get a little relaxation time before going to the Frazee Dream Center. After having a great day working with the children, we went to supper at a pizza place downtown called Trios. Some of our group stayed in the downtown area, others went to the mall and some just back to the hotel to hang out. Here are some of our experiences we want to share with you from our day. </div>

<div style="color: white;">
At Harvest Hope food pantry, the supervisor summed up their mission: "If people are hungry, we feed them." In the city of Greenville, 47% of children are on free or reduced lunches at school. This organization receives food donations from local grocery stores, businesses and community members. Volunteers sorted food donations, preparing them for distribution.</div>

Project Host is a soup kitchen that serves a free meal to about 200 people in need Monday-Friday. These 200 people come into Project Host during a one hour time period. We helped with preparation for the meal, served it to those in need, and cleaned up after the meal was over. </div>

The Frazee Dream Center was started 6 years ago by Jenny and Matt Reeves. While initially wanting to run the center on the side, a few months after opening it the Reeves sold their landscaping business and decided to make Frazee Dream Center one of the main focuses of their life. The center is a free preschool and after school program for 60-90 under resourced children. Matt explained during our training that there can be little moments which can change a child's perspective on different aspects of life. For instance, many of the children who attend the center come from single-parent families and do not know anything different. The Frazee Dream Center strives to create those moments for its children in everything they do. We played with them during game time, helped individual children with reading and homework, and helped serve supper. </div>
