TJ Melanson Philly 2K15

Though the road here may have been filled with bumps, each bump lends a new lesson. Each experience we encounter makes us grow closer as a team and a group. We began just two days acting as individuals, but in just two days we've pulled together as a team. Yesterday, I went to the Share food program where we boxed food for families in need. The work seemed daunting at first, but like the old saying goes, many hands makes for little work. Though we had much to do, we still had time to find a way to have fun. By the end of the day you would be hard pressed to find a single person who did not dance during the day. Today we went to Our Closet, an organization who takes in clothing donations and gives them to those who need them. Again, we grew closer again and accomplished our goals. This trip never ceases to amaze me. Each person is so welcoming and fun loving. I find it interesting that we may come here knowing very little about each other, but each time you learn so much and learn to love each other. This is the reason I continue to want to be apart of this group. The things we do here and the lessons we learn are irreplaceable and the friendships are deeper than most. Service is what makes me happy, and it's the people that I do it with that makes it that much more special.
