My Travel Story

by: Riya Patel Start Date: Apr 3, 2016 - End Date: Apr 2, 2017
Poverty is not a lack of character . It's a lack of money and oppourtunity . 

I will be graduating from high school soon .And I have been voulenteering at homeless shelters since I was 14. It's been 11 years since I've last seen my grandma and don't remember her since I was so young . I'm graduating soon from high school and I would really like nothing more than to be a missionary for several years before I start university . I would like the oppourtunity to go to my grandma to India and go on a pilgrimage with her and serve as a missionary and dedicate myself to those in need of it . I always wanted to be a hero when I was young and I think a hero is some one who gives their time and improve quality of people's lives . It's what I wanna do . I would like to help make a change and be there for people who think they have no one . Any help is greatly appreciated . Thank you :)
