Thanksgiving Break

This Thanksgiving break is different than the past couple years. This is my first Thanksgiving home in two years because the past breaks were spent on a medical mission trips to the Dominican Republic. This break is also the first time in a few years my sisters and I have all been home and able to celebrate together.

As Thanksgiving break rolled around, I was a little upset about not returning to the Dominican Republic. The Dominican is such a warm, welcoming place. Over the past two years I have made many friendships, which I still have today, and it makes it hard not seeing them this week.

The nice thing about social media is I can still keep in contact with them. I can see their pictures and posts on Facebook and Instagam. Social media makes it easier to keep in contact with them when I can’t be there.

Luckily, I have the opportunity to spend Thanksgiving break with my family and friends. I am very thankful for this week home and memories to come with my family.
