Chris Travis, 18th

Today is the first day we go out and visit our schools in our assigned groups. But before going out to the schools, i went with a small group on a morning hike to the top of a mountain, by a radio tower. We got up real early in order to make it to the top before the sunrise. We ended up not making it before the sun rose but it still was an experience full of beauty and excitement. It was a tiring hike, and by the time we reached the top i was drenched in sweat. We left for our schools after we returned from the hike, showered, and ate breakfast. The school that i was assigned to is called San Marcos. It is a small school with 35 students. The teacher teachs all the levels from 1st grade to 6th, moving from group to group throughout the day. The children at the school seemed shy at first, but once we began playing with them at recess they opened up and it was alot of fun. I am looking forward to seeing them again Monday.
