“Recently I went on a trip to the Dominican Republic with some friends. It was a great time, we went to the beach, saw the night scenes, and had some real Dominican food. I also was awarded the Co-Chair position for a program I am in at Drexel University called BRIDGE. It stands for ‘Building Relationships in Diverse Group Environments’. As Co-Chair, I am the leader of Executive Board Meetings. I help plan trips (Spring break trip) and other meetings for the program. I will graduate this June, 2016 Thank you image5Jesus! But other than that, nothing much has changed. I plan on enjoying the rest of my year at Drexel and look forward to future endeavors.”
