Spring Break Shenanigans

By Noah Brooks

Spring break is a time of rest, pain, and fun. A break many have thought about as it was slowly approaching. People planning with their friends what to do during a two-week holiday, like multiple parties that may have happened, sports, and beach visits with family, friends and co-workers. Besides all the planning of events to do with some kids, plans were already set with an Impact trip. The locations were Chiang Mai, Central Java, Phnom Penh. Each location had a different set of activities. Two teams worked with kids, and the other labored on a farm. 

Out of the many fun trips that Dalat hosts, Impact. One of the trips, Chiang Mai Thailand, was a hot and fun trip. There was lots of physical work like wheelbarrowing, hoeing, removal of a building, painting, and much more fun activities. One of the students who got to go on this trip, Himani Alagan (12) who is known for being outdoorsy, hard working, and constantly enjoying the sun, went on this trip. 

Himani, focusing on the relationships of this trip said, “I really appreciated getting to interact with students outside my grade. It was really nice to forge relationships with them and make an impact on others during my final year in Dalat.”

One of the many sports played by students over spring break was volleyball, if it's with a club or a Dalat open gym, volleyball is one that is enjoyed a lot by many over the years. 

Josh Stevens (10) mentioned, “Over the break I spent time with my friends and family, having fun for the most part. I would play volleyball a few times over the break. On the last day of open gym, I ended up slipping a few discs in my lower back but thank the Lord it’s slowly healing and should be fine in 6 weeks.”

Trips are always fun, and you are able to make lots of memories with your friends. In the future, you can boast about all the fun times you had to your kids.
