When I chose to be a part of this service learning trip, I didn't have a clue what I was in for. I didn't know that I would be taught lessons in, not only our food culture, but the dignity surrounding our very choices as well. I didn't know that I would be challenged in my beliefs and asked to be critical of the stereotypes that our society enforces on us. I definitely did not expect to realize that although we are obsessed with fixing people, we have to understand that we do not have to right to do so. Rather, we should stand in solidarity of peoples' choices and love them for who they are not who we want them to become. I am so grateful for this experience and I am forever changed by the stories, the people, and the hope for change that this short trip offered.
