One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This one is hard because I don't feel that I've done much that is really amazing. I guess one really cool thing I've done would be going to China by myself in my Junior year of high school. I met up with a friend there who taught English and we traveled around for a bit before settling. It was on this trip that I really discovered my love for teaching and learning about different cultures.

Some other things would be mission trips I went on to Jamaica and Costa Rica to help build houses, support and renovate schools, and learn about the local culture.

Teach, Learn, Share

All of the above?
