Traveling!  One of the most frequently used words in the month of December.  “Where are you traveling to?” or “Are you traveling over the vacation?”  Those are just some of the phrases in which I hear the word used and the answers are normally, “Oh, to my hometown… to visit my family.” or “my family decided to go to…  for vacation.”  However, I don’t think I have every heard, “Well I am traveling down to New Orleans for a community service trip during my vacation break!”It is exciting hearing something different.  Doing something new over break.  Working in a city (state) I have never been.  Listening to people talk about their story of Hurricane Katrina.  Understandng about the architectural problems of the building in the Lower Ninth Ward.  Figuring out the flaws in the healthcare system prior to Hurricane Katrina.  Basically, learning something new!!!!Period.
