I am a sophomore
at the University of Memphis pursuing a nursing degree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, I am the student coordinator for Alternative
Spring Break Staycation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t fully
explain how great of an experience ASB Staycation was for me. Every day of ASB
Staycation consisted of service, fun, and new experiences for every one of us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am so thankful to have the group of people
that participated in ASB Staycation because they are the ones who made this
week a memorable one for me. Each and every one of the participants had their
own personality which made the group diverse yet perfectly bonded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I admired their hard work and dedication
which made every service project productive and successful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the greatest aspects of every service
project we did was the fun that we had while serving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We really enjoyed each other’s company which
made it easy for us to work together and make the best of every moment. After participating
in ASB last year, I knew that Alternative Spring Break was going to be my plans
for Spring Break this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is how
much of a great experience ASB was for me! Being able to devote my entire
Spring Break to serve in the community has been more fun and more memorable than
any other Spring Break.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really urge
students to participate in Alternative Spring Break. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only are you serving the community, but you
are getting the opportunity to experience new things that you never have before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While participating in ASB Staycation, I
learned and experienced A LOT in Memphis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Memphis has so many different things to offer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Throughout the whole week, we were able to
explore Memphis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I say explore
Memphis, we were able to get a “taste of Memphis” by going to different local restaurants/dessert
places such as the Memphis Pizza Café, the Trolley Stop Market, A. Schwab, the
Bar-B-Que Shop, Gus’s Fried Chicken, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the
Cheesecake Corner, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jerry’s Sno Cones,
and Boscos. We were able to experience Memphis by doing a lot of things that Memphis
is known for like going to see the Peabody Duck March, touring Beale Street/Cooper
Young/ Overton Square, going to the Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum, taking photos at the three
“I Love Memphis” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>walls (that was
definitely an adventure), <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>going on the
Memphis </span><br />

Playhouse on the Square.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The places we went
to and the things we got to do most of us had never done before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I definitely enjoyed everything about ASB
Staycation. It is great to know that there are other universities who have an
ASB for their students. Thursday, we had an “ASB collaboration” with Sam
Houston State University’s Alternative Spring Break <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

group serving for Promise
Development Corporation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were able to
accomplish our task of tidying up a community garden that was buried beneath
leaves, sticks, trash, and grass. We were all amazed at the beauty of the
community garden after we had finished the project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sam Houston State University was a great
group of students and thanked us for letting them join our service
project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Honestly, all thanks went to
them because we definitely couldn’t have tackled that project as swiftly and
successfully without their help. Our last service project was with Habitat for
Humanity on Friday. They are gearing up for their 2014 Spring Build and we were
able to take part in building one of the homes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Many of the participants were able to experience the hard work and dedication
it takes to build a home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We participated
in roofing, siding, and nailing. I honestly never want to see a hammer and nail
again (laughing, but very serious). Overall, our hard work and dedication paid
off after we saw the progress that was made toward the completion of the home. Looking
back over the week, I must say that I am proud of the way ASB Staycation turned
out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was an AMAZING week!! I would
like to give thanks to the people at Knowledge Quest, Shelby Farms, St. John’s
Soup Kitchen, Door of Hope, Promise Development Corporation, and Habitat for
Humanity for allowing us to serve with them and making their service projects a
great experience for us!!! Also, I would like to give a special thank you to Latorria Griffith, our ASB Staycation Advisor, for getting us to our service projects and contributing to all the fun we had this week!</span>UofM ASBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04100551434998804622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315881063369012993.post-52506304442887711482014-03-15T01:52:00.000-07:002014-03-17T14:08:52.402-07:00Bitter sweet<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh89RbKYLL3vmYFRzQEAkkMImvclis9-TLB0CNkb-ynblf334iTd3RqrII5xN7M8k0XwiBrQfSIvZ9gt6kFSbb3kyCv0X0crnKzViqhIdOf1GPUL9MoPThTqqxJ_OdAxSnarCeyWwm-dhwW/s1600/IMG_0057.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh89RbKYLL3vmYFRzQEAkkMImvclis9-TLB0CNkb-ynblf334iTd3RqrII5xN7M8k0XwiBrQfSIvZ9gt6kFSbb3kyCv0X0crnKzViqhIdOf1GPUL9MoPThTqqxJ_OdAxSnarCeyWwm-dhwW/s1600/IMG_0057.JPG" height="200" width="150" /></a>Dillon Scott-Holliam<br />

Of course this is a bitter sweet process but everything must come to an end. My excitement and remorse comes not only from our experience being over but knowing that I may never be able to experience it again. My departure from the university due to graduation made me soak every possible opportunity in!<br />

We were rewarded the opportunity to serve them as well as interact with them.<br />

It was a privileged serving the seniors in all possible ways, in return they paid for ice cream at this location called "Shakes" which was delectable !<br />

The week as a whole was rewarding yet exhausting, I'm thankful that my senior year was again well spent participating in my third ASB! I exciting to see where they may end up next year!UofM ASBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04100551434998804622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315881063369012993.post-49537567597171254512014-03-15T01:31:00.000-07:002014-03-17T14:04:07.296-07:00The Last Service<br />

As members of the Faulkner County Senior Wellness and Activity Center, these people, who are sixty and older engage in social activities such as exercising, bingo, and sporting games to name a few. A sporting game we got to watch and cheer on was Bean bag Baseball which consisted on the Shakers and the Blazers competing on who would acquire the most bases. As we cheered on these teams, I could not help but feel the warmth that radiated from the atmosphere. In addition, there was no doubt that they appreciated us being there as we not only watched but enjoyed the game being played.<br />
Following the game, a representative of that particular district spoke to the seniors on hunger in the state. He elaborated by stating that Arkansas was number one in the country for elderly hunger. I was also shocked when he revealed that one in five persons in the state went to bed hungry. Subsequently, I was reassured that the seniors in that center were not part of that statistic because a hearty lunch is served to them everyday. As lunch was enjoyed, I conversed with four lovely ladies who gave me life advice in blunt fashion only older people can efficiently execute. They fussed over my picky eating like I was one of their grandchildren. Unfortunately when it was time to depart, it felt bitter sweet. I knew I would never forget these people and their courage to continue to still live life.<br />

Since the seniors would not be in the new location until July of this year, we were expected to clean and help with simple renovations. With that in mind, I was ecstatic that they would be meeting in a bigger and nicer facility.<br />
So to sum it up, meeting those senior citizens taught me that life will inevitably age us, but our hearts will remain as young as we allow it.<br />

I chose to participate in Alternative Spring Break because I understand the importance of serving communities and the duration of Spring break was the perfect opportunity to serve.<br />

Heifer is an organization that once provided animals to families as a way of teaching them how to survive. Heifer has never been, or will be, a relief program! Heifer no longer ships animals off (<i>from the U.S., but rather from areas neighboring those they are serving.</i>) It serves as an educational organization that made a great impact on our group. Mrs. Berta showed us a video that provided great insight to the importance of the animals that Heifer shipped off. The animals served as a gateway opportunity to education for the women of Nepal, India. Owning an animal also provided encouragement and motivation for the women to have their own voice in society as well. Heifer Ranch is filled with llamas, camels, chickens, hogs, cattle, water buffalo, and goats. Mrs. Berta provided educational information about each animal and even gave us the chance to feed the camel apples! (I was too scared to participate!) Heifer also provided a very eye-opening look to other parts of the world with its Global Village. The Global Village had setups to show us what it would be like to live in houses of Guatemala, Thailand, Zambia, and the slums. Being at Heifer Ranch hit home with me because it brought me to memories of my younger days when my cousins and I used to explore in the woods. We also had a clubhouse that resembled the slums a lot! This experience caused me to be grateful and appreciative of my life and all that I have been given.<br />

After leaving Heifer Ranch, we drove to the Arkansas Food Bank. At the food bank, we unpackaged many boxes of food and sorted them into categories. We had to be very careful when checking expiration dates so that no harm would come to those receiving the food. I enjoyed being at the food bank because our group worked so hard and in sync to finish our task. It was so fun and a team-building experience! I also learned that food banks are very important because they provide food for many different surrounding populations, and that food banks sort of get the first call for disaster relief.<br />

up close. It was a great experience to actually see the school in person and get a feel of life in the 50's and 60's by visiting the museum. Little Rock Central High School made me realize and appreciate the importance of education. I am so grateful to have had the chance to visit this historic location and learn many facts about it.<br />

Alternative Spring Break has been a great experience to me and I have absorbed a lot of knowledge, facts, and skills from it. I have also developed many friendships along the way! ASB will hold many memories and I look forward to another one in the future!UofM ASBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04100551434998804622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315881063369012993.post-5960498019807846672014-03-13T23:34:00.000-07:002014-03-17T13:46:15.691-07:00The Perfect Day<br />

Alternative Spring Break has been a wonderful experience and I would recommend this program to anyone. I was a little skeptical at first about coming but I am glad that I decided to do it. This was a good way to spend my spring break. Today has been a great day. First we went on the tour at the Heifer Ranch. It was my first time touring a ranch and it was huge! The video they showed in the beginning showed a lot. It was very eye opening to se<br />

e how the slums looked. Seeing that made me appreciate so much more and be grateful. We later went to the Food Bank where we packaged food. We all worked together and got the job done. This was my first time actually working in the food bank. That night we went out to eat and I enjoyed the food. I have had a lot of fun because the people on this trip has become so close. I couldn't have asked for a better group to be with. We have laughed, joked with one another and more but after this trip I know we will all hang again. We all could relate to one another in some form or fashion. I was able to visit places I have never been before and it was a great experience.UofM ASBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04100551434998804622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315881063369012993.post-76118745465885785832014-03-13T06:00:00.000-07:002014-03-13T06:02:29.771-07:00ASB Staycation Loves Memphis!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My name is Marques Traylor. Today was very nice! I really enjoyed myself cleaning and cooking at Door of Hope. I really had a connection with a lot of the residents at Door of Hope. The residents of Door of Hope seemed very happy. I enjoyed singing and connecting with one of the residents, Ms. Robin. We talked about the Lord and I really love connecting with people who love the Lord. My high was when one of the residents, Mr. Lee, stated that I taught him something today. While cooking spaghetti, I showed him how to use boiling water to get the grease out of the drain. It made me smile when he told me that I taught him how to do that.<br />

Hello, my name is Ericka Gilland. I am a sophomore and Pre-Nursing major at The University of Memphis. My experiences at Shreveport have been very heart warming! We began our second day into Shreveport by organizing the books, and pantry at the Volunteers of America Highland center. Organizing the books for the center was a great deed because the books will later be distributed to all of the Volunteers of America locations for students. Later, at the same location Volunteers of America served a senior citizen luncheon. Many of the ASB team got an opportunity to talk and connect with the seniors. Other team members, like myself, helped the staff in the kitchen and distributed the plates to the seniors. It was really a joy to see the senior citizens enjoy their meal. As the day progressed the ASB team traveled to the Volunteers of America Bossier Center. We hosted a field day for the students. It gave our team such great satisfaction to see them enjoy playing with each other.<br />

Volunteers of America is a great non profit organization that is concrete with the education of children, and well being of senior citizens. It was truly an eye opener, and great relief to know that their are still great people in the world today. 😊<br />

My name is Sydney Featherstone, I am a senior Business Management major and it is March 11th only day two of serving on alternative spring break. However, in these two days we have accomplished so much and I have learned so much about the communities we have served. I have learned that the organizations we are volunteering with are a strong force within each community whether through beautifying the city or nurturing children's minds. It is so much positivity in these cities it's amazing. Serving with Travis Lighthouse Center --Volunteers of America today, we helped to create a "grammatical system", by cutting and labeling cards that will teach them how to properly use grammar. This system will allow the student to grow their knowledge of grammar and will increase in difficulty for at least five years, allowing them to be proficient in this area up until middle school. The work was really tedious, duplicating five years of curriculum, yeah it is not easy! Through that time I was able to talk with my team and the VOA team; I learned they do a tremendous amount for the community and students because they want them to prosper. They even have places were the old lighthouse kids can do their laundry and they provide their students with a community garden and more. But the project became even more special when we got to interact with the children, we were able to do homework help and a field day. The field day was so fun, playing games like kickball, sponge race, and etc., I probably had more fun than they did. But, it was special to me because I don't know how often they get to participate in activities like that. All of them looked so happy for us to be there, I hope even for the few hours I got to spend with them I impacted them in some way.UofM ASBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04100551434998804622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315881063369012993.post-41620661436261982002014-03-11T22:43:00.001-07:002014-03-17T13:35:36.306-07:00Shreveport's LighthouseHello everyone,<br />
<br />
I am Sherita Donald, a student at the University of Memphis. I am Senior studying Business Management as a major with a Chemistry minor. Today, we served in Shreveport, Louisiana. This was my first time in the city, and I've been excited about visiting since I found out this was a destination on the trip. It was only 3 hours from our first destination in Greenville, MS.<br />
<br />
Working with Volunteers of America has been a blessing. Our main contact, Tricia, is really energetic and welcoming. They provided us with breakfast and lunch and were accommodating to our every need. During the first part of our day, we worked at Volunteers of America Lighthouse. This is an after school program that provides homework help, healthy snacks, and educational as well as physical activities for youth. It is free for the students who can be anywhere between the ages of 5 to 18, although most of the students that attend are in grades K-8.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3coY6Q80HNKLTeqRf2lFB-m2h3d2mwLh3Tgs-Gy1kLbBKQY6129Kl8C66UqeVSsjl_D6muISKEJIneSi9lQwABH8SfOBfqdvO0m7bRN7kEflC9rfmN4fE7Kh1jh_LX9LqOGBXPROwWCM0/s1600/IMG_0063.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3coY6Q80HNKLTeqRf2lFB-m2h3d2mwLh3Tgs-Gy1kLbBKQY6129Kl8C66UqeVSsjl_D6muISKEJIneSi9lQwABH8SfOBfqdvO0m7bRN7kEflC9rfmN4fE7Kh1jh_LX9LqOGBXPROwWCM0/s1600/IMG_0063.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a>During the first part of our day, we split up into 2 groups. The group I was a part of as responsible for general maintenance. We cleaned and organized the children's library, 2 closets, the maintenance closet, and 3 other rooms. Although our work wasn't elaborate, our group was more than willing to complete any and every task we received and also had a great time bonding with each other as this was our first time all together volunteering in the same group. One thing that amazed me about our time cleaning up was seeing how many resources the center has. One closet is full of games, crayons, markers, workbooks and playing cards. The library is equipped with an illustrious array of books for a child on an grade level to read. There is a community garden outside of the building that allowed the children to eat healthy snacks after they worked on homework.<br />
<br />
It is encouraging to see how much the staff and people who donated the resources care about the<br />
children. I sense that they know children are our future and are selflessly motivated to doing whatever they can to make even one child's future that much brighter. Even though I'm not from Shreveport, I am grateful for the opportunity to help this growing organization that is committed to helping our youth succeed. Just knowing that I contributed to a project that might not mean much to children, but helps take some pressure away from the staff so they can have more time helping the children serves as satisfaction in itself. If everyone was motivated and committed to helping people knowing he/she won't get anything in return, in what condition would this world be? Volunteers of America in Shreveport is the light in a dark place. It was an honor to work with this organization.UofM ASBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04100551434998804622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315881063369012993.post-71114432786332473142014-03-11T21:50:00.002-07:002014-03-17T13:34:08.548-07:00Volunteers of America & Travis Lighthouse, Tuesday, March 11, 2014. <br />
My name is Hallie Hargis and I am a freshman Biomedical Engineering major and Mathematical Science minor. I chose ASB to impact to community in a positive way while growing spiritually, emotionally, and mentally as a person. Today we woke up to a breakfast served at the Volunteers of America center where we are staying. Ms. Tricia served us donuts, go-gurt, muffins, and fruit. We then helped her unload donations into hallway pantry. As we finished unloading we began to start packing ourselves into the vans to get to our destination at the Travis Lighthouse location of VOA in Northern Louisiana-Shreveport. At Travis Lighthouse we split up into two groups to complete cleaning tasks and a grammar system that can help kids for up to 5 years depending on how long it takes them to learn and comprehend the English and grammar. After the tasks were completed we held an hour and a half field day outside the Travis Lighthouse center. Before the kids were allowed to go outside to field, other ASB members and myself helped them do and complete their homework. We had 5 stations set up for the kids ranging from kickball to hula-hoop lines. Today was a very rewarding day. To see the kids bright smiles and how happy they were to see us really inspired me to keep volunteering and impacting lives. <br />

My name is Tiffany Vann. I am a Junior psychology major and Spanish minor. It has been an honor to come down to the state of Louisiana and serve the Shreveport community. The Volunteers of America representatives have shown great hospitality to us. From providing meals, a place to stay, and making our stay comfortable and warm. Our team split that morning, some of us cleaned, while others worked on a education project. The bonding between both groups was wonderful. I learned more about the other people in my group that I never thought I would know. The environment at Lighthouse was so welcoming. They provided a delicious, healthy lunch for us. After our tasks were just about done, we gathered together to plan a field day for the children. Some of the local volunteers helped us as well. The kids were so enthusiastic about getting to know us. From snack time to homework time to field day, they were very special kids of whom I will never forget. I'm glad we could take time to see them and to also help out the representative of Volunteers of America. When the kids stated we rock at the end that was the icing on the cake!UofM ASBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04100551434998804622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315881063369012993.post-66963410279229839132014-03-11T20:10:00.003-07:002014-03-16T12:01:23.892-07:00ASB Staycation Day 2<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

It’s a wonder how many things in this world, let alone our
city, we do not know. This day has been one that has opened my eyes to
treasures in the city I inhabit. I have been blessed to see this city with a
new perspective along with my new friends. From the community service work to
the city gazing adventure in downtown Memphis, day two of ASB staycation has
been one of the most amazing and culturally eye opening.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Our day
began with a tour of downtown. First we began at the luxurious Peabody hotel.
Here our group gathered around the fountain of the lobby to see the march of
the ducks. During the introduction, our guide told us of the historical
significance this event has had within the century. I have heard that there are
other grand hotels that duplicate this event but it was wonderful to be at
where the tradition began. To my surprise they don’t march out of the elevator
but run. I could barely take a photo of them they were so fast! Next we
followed our noses to the smell of food being cooked at the Trolley stop
Market. Here we had the most amazing food this diner had to offer. The food was
delicious and would be a place I would return with friends or family. Of course
I had to taste their best burger and it did the job of satisfying my appetite
and then some. This place was indeed the Trolley Stop Market because just
outside was our trolley. We rode on a restored trolley that had been used since
the 70's. This ride was one of the most memorable I would ever take. From the
old wood to the steel tracks, this ride was a unique experience. The next stop
delighted us with the scenic view of the Memphis from the 17<sup>th</sup> floor
of the Madison hotel. This view of downtown was amazing and it is a destination
that we will have to go to again and again. Ending up on Beale Street, we
indulged in homemade soda floats from A. Schwarz. Here we learned that they had
opened up in the 1800's and built its rafters from the remains of a stalled
barge on the Mississippi. The business had once been named the biggest retailer
in Memphis. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
next part of our day was a culturally engaging <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"></span>experience. We got to go to the
Rock and Soul Museum and got to see the famous side of Memphis. The music that
had emerged from this city had finally reveled it history. This museum
explained the diverse hub that Memphis encompassed with people from all walks
of life. This led to the mixing of music from people from different race and
creeds that helped build the foundation for Memphis as a musical hotspot. Today
I learned that music was the gateway to the unity and bonding of this city. Our
Final stop was St. John Methodist Church. Here we all got to work together to
provide a dinner meal for those in the community that needed it. Surprisingly,
we were all placed with great responsibility than I thought we would. All
supplies were provided to us by our host, Mrs. Rhodes, and we were to create a
meal using our talents in the kitchen. We were placed with great responsibility
to feed people and their friends and family. With all our group effort, we
successfully cooked, portioned, and distributed a course that was satisfying
cooking it as it was watching our guests enjoy it. This opened my eyes to
realize that group effort is all we need to tackle any project. The people
living in poverty would enjoy a warm meal today and I hope to be there to cook
again. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Overall
this day had everything you could ask for in a lifetime. Being in a van with
great people and getting to know each other better, together we have seen
another side of Memphis that we could have easily missed. This was a day to
remember and I have no doubt that the next few days would be the same.</div>

<span style="font-family: "inherit","serif";">Hello! My name is Veronica
Wilson, and I am a sophomore nursing student studying at the University of
Memphis. My whole life I had grown up around the great city of Memphis, but
until I moved to the University I realized that I had no idea how truly great
the city was. There has been so much about the community that I have
longed to experience and be exposed to, and ASB Staycation has provided an
amazing way for me to not only learn about Memphis but also to passionately
serve its people without the stresses of studying. I believe our first day has
been the perfect kickoff to an upcoming week filled with excitement and impact!
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "inherit","serif";">Today, we began our journey in a
super sweet place known as Knowledge Quest at 990 Park Memphis, TN (I give the
address in hopes you’ll share news of this cool place). Knowledge Quest
is a free after school program that serves all students from kindergarten
through eighth grade mostly around the South Memphis area, but students from
all over are welcome! Students come to the center to decompress and relax after
a day of studying, to work on homework, to have help with homework, and to
engage in creative activities that aid in their learning. They also have
opportunities to be exposed to and participate in piano lessons, ballet
dancing, and art activity! Our team met with one of the sweet coordinators,
Mrs. Toria, and we did some “spring cleaning” throughout the different
classrooms. It was definitely one the most pleasant experiences I have ever had
in regard to cleaning! The whole team was just happy to be there, and
everything turned out neat and lemony fresh! I had no idea that the community
offered a place like this for the kids, so I was very excited to have seen it
for myself. The experience definitely showed me that there is a much greater
care and passion for Memphis’ youth than I thought, and Knowledge Quest is
definitely a gem to be shared with others. After finishing our cleaning tasks,
we had an amazing lunch of pizza from the Memphis Pizza Café. If you have never
had their pizza, you should definitely make it a ‘must’ on your “experience
Memphis bucket list.” The second part of our day was also a treat. Our team had
the opportunity to go the Shelby Farms and help plant a mess of baby trees, and
the weather could not have been more beautiful. With excellent teaching and
help from staff member Mrs. Irene and some really nice teamwork, our team was
able to plant about 150 new trees! We had no idea that we would be able to
plant so many! We were also able to help push a gentleman’s truck out of the
mud; unfortunately, we were unable to get him unstuck, but the team made it a
fun and funny experience. It was a super cool feeling to look across a field of
once-potted trees all snug in the ground. I can’t wait to see their progress in
the future. Overall, the day was a true blessing. I learned that it wasn’t just
the amazing places that brought about so much joy to others, but also the
passionate and caring people who made the places a reality. I cannot wait to
see what the rest of the week brings and to meet all the new faces coming our
way!</span> <br />

I am a member of the University's Alternative Spring Break Destination 2014 program. This year we are traveling to Greenville, MS Shreveport. LA and Little Rock, AR. Today was the first official day of ASB, the day we started service. We spent the day in Greenville, MS. I was in the group that went to the Boys and Girls Club to help out up swing sets, paint old swing sets, set tables and benches into concrete, and spend time with the kids.<br />
We arrived early to the center eager to begin the tasks we were talk about, however we ran into a few bumps in the road. We ended up running into a few bumps in the road. The woman in charge of the club was running late, and we did not have all the equipment we needed to get started on the tasks at hand. We did not let that discourage us though. We found work to do in sorting out the two swing sets and making sure each set have all the pieces it needed. We finished that and found we still had some time on our hands before we would have all the supplies we needed. We went outside to look over the projects and to get a better understanding of what all we would need to do once we had our supplies. We found a few basketballs in the gym we were in and began to shoot around and play some games.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOeIcrtLO08x8q62H90P57w-SXCZdmaJQ0JmteVbXHLEmTrySEbOKR8Bie0t2QVZwVvNkz-nbTL2A6cFeJRwZ1Wl9OYU4dzXi2eaEV9Dbw_56XIB69eUa4Declr88Qmtgnxf72Itw378l-/s1600/IMG_1100.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOeIcrtLO08x8q62H90P57w-SXCZdmaJQ0JmteVbXHLEmTrySEbOKR8Bie0t2QVZwVvNkz-nbTL2A6cFeJRwZ1Wl9OYU4dzXi2eaEV9Dbw_56XIB69eUa4Declr88Qmtgnxf72Itw378l-/s1600/IMG_1100.JPG" height="320" width="239" /></a>Soon the woman showed up, and she had brought her grandson Brian with her. We gave her a list of supplies and she was on her way to retrieve them for us. While we waited we became acquainted with Brian and played some basketball with him. He was very talented and he and I even played a few games of one-on-one together. He won one and I one the other. We were then introduced to a guy who also goes to the Club, Shorty. He is a college student as well and he even played a few games with us. Shortly after that, the woman returned with the supplies we needed, and we went to work on different projects, each eager to accomplish as much as possible in the short amount of time we had left.<br />
I was on the swing set assembly job. Once we had power tools I was able to but the rock wall part of the swing set quickly. Then Quinn and I moved on to trying to put the slide together. What we thought would be an easy task turned into something quite difficult. We ended up enlisting the help of Cedric, Sydney, and Raven to complete the slide. This is probably one the hardest tasks I have ever had to complete, but it was fun working with the others, and we felt very accomplished when the slide was finished. In the last bit of our day we had the help of the second group who had finished their tasks and came to the club to help us. Once we finished the slide we had enough time to assemble the main braces of the monkey bars before we had to pack up and leave to head to Shreveport. Although we did not complete all the tasks put in front of us for the day, I feel we still did a lot today that made a difference, and we made the most of the time we had. My high for the day was definitely using my hands and building the playground. What I learned from to day is that I can take the skills my Dad taught me and teach them to others and that they really are useful and can be put to a great cause. So far ASB 2014 has been great and I can not wait for the rest of the week.<br />

I was blessed with the opportunity to participate in Alternative Spring Break. Today we went to Greater Greenville in Greenville, Mississippi. Greater Greenville is a nonprofit organization similar Habitat for Humanity with an emphasis on home renters. I learned that the Greenville community is small and struggles with poverty, but it is alive with tenacity and compassion. My group worked with cleaning up, painting, and pressure washing apartments owned by Greater Greenville. While working, I learned that poverty is nothing that can't be tackled. I was impressed and inspired by the compassion Mr. Daniel and Mrs. Ruth had for the community and they're dedication to seeing all of their tasks through. This experience was so touching and took a poignant turn when Mr. Daniel and Mrs. Ruth, the Greater Grenville coordinators, surprised us with pizza and Christmas ornaments with their business information. Their acts of kindness proved to me that service is truly a rewarding and necessary human experience. The lessons I learned today will last me a lifetime.UofM ASBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04100551434998804622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315881063369012993.post-25916966273126928462014-03-10T23:15:00.000-07:002014-03-17T13:23:50.171-07:00So Far<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi, my name is Kerry Johnson and I am a sophomore International Business major. The past couple of days so far have been amazing. I have enjoyed being in community with such a great group of students and staff. Arriving in Greenville and getting settled was rough at first because sleeping on the floor was different from sleeping on my bed. The first form of community service was cleaning a poverty stricken neighborhood and working with a local community center. I found both experiences truly humbling and it allowed me to understand how blessed I really am. So far the trip has been going well and I expect it to end amazing! <br />

Hello all, my name is Quintessica Pegues. I am a senior Sociology major and Marketing minor at the University of Memphis. I am a person who enjoys doing service works, so I've been anticipating this trip. Our first day of service was spent in Greenville, Mississippi. The church that allowed us to stay the night was amazing which started the trip off well. For my groups' service activity for the day, we were supposed to fix up a playground at the local Boys and Girls Club. What I found fascinating was how long that particular center had been a part of the community. One of the staff workers, Ms. Hines, informed me that the center had been running for about 20 to 25 years. It was a little disheartening to me to know that because the center is no longer in the best of conditions. Ms. Hines says on an average day they can have 80-100 kids there, which made me anxious to get started beautifying the center. Unfortunately, because of a lack of supplies and the time it took for the site director to obtain supplies we were not able to seriously start working until a few hours after our arrival. But when we were able to start my group was amazing. The determination each of us had for getting as much done as we possibly could was uplifting and contagious. We cemented benches back into the ground, painted a picnic table, picked up branches that were all over, and began assembling a playground set plus a bit more. Us working the way we did in such a short period, really impacted me. I learned from that situation; that no matter the circumstances when there is a job or task to be done, if everyone remains positive and willing to seriously work we can always make a difference and influence change and attitudes.UofM ASBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04100551434998804622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315881063369012993.post-83638391316013094002014-03-10T23:00:00.000-07:002014-03-17T12:30:15.021-07:00Heart Touching Greenville<br />

Hi, my name is Kayla Young I am a sophomore nursing major with a sociology minor from Atoka, TN. My experiences with ASB so far have been so eye opening! Our first day was spent mostly traveling and settling into Greenville, MS. We were so grateful to be welcomed by the First Baptist Church in downtown Greenville. The accommodations they made for us were so wonderful. The second day our of trip was split broken into groups. I got to experience a side of Greenville I have never seen. I have traveled to the city before with my job but never had the opportunity to venture through the city. My group worked with a nonprofit organization called Greater Greenville. The two employees we met, Daniel and Ruth, shared so much knowledge with us about the city and it's history. The organization is focused on providing adequate housing for the less fortunate allowing renting and home ownership options. We helped them to clean up some of their units by pressure washing, painting, picking up trash, and painting new parking lot stripes. I could tell that the few residents we talked to were very appreciative.<br />

They knew what the city used to be and the beauty of if was very apparent. It was nice to see that people like Ruth and Daniel had not given up on it. They work so hard to do all that they can for the poverty stricken community. I learned that every little bit of help can contribute to a bigger picture. I am thankful I got to experience what I did today because the lessons I learned and the knowledge I gained will never be forgotten.UofM ASBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04100551434998804622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315881063369012993.post-10551648081561793462014-03-10T19:49:00.001-07:002014-03-11T06:01:38.905-07:00ASB Staycation Day 1<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Because I am not from Memphis, I did not know what to expect
when I came here. I have always heard that Memphis was<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> a </span>bad place, but today went against every
bad thing I have heard about Memphis. Today, the ASB Staycation went to Knowledge
Quest and Shelby Farms. My overall experience<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>of visiting both places were great. At
Knowledge Quest, I realized that there are many people in Memphis who care about
the city's youth and want the best for the youth. At Shelby Farms,
I learned that it was one of the biggest parks in the nation. There are some beautiful sites in Memphis that I have never seen before until today. <br />
