The wait is almost over

Everyone traveling to the Dominican Republic is required to take medication, such as the pill seen here, to protect against malaria. Treatment begins as early as two weeks before departure.T-minus three days and counting before my Alternative Service Break (ASB) team gets on a plane and travels down to the Dominican Republic for our work with Habitat for Humanity on Friday at 6:30 AM. The suspense has been building all school year long since mid-September when I found out that I made the team at the ASB Reveal Night. Since then, it’s been getting everything ready such as getting all the proper immunizations and buying all the supplies that I need. It’s been long coming and the wait is almost over. It just can’t seem to get here any faster though.
