Ali Benjamin, Trip Participant




Hey everyone! I’m Ali and I’m from Rockville, Maryland, which is in Montgomery County for those of you from the great state of MD. I’m a junior this year, but it’s actually my first semester at UMD and the past two years I’ve attended the University of South Carolina. I was a broadcast journalism major at USC but I just declared a major in Communications this past semester. I’ve wanted to do some kind of a service trip for years, so I really can’t wait!

My hobbies include any and all things active and I’m one of those peoplewho have to stay busy. I am a huge water sports junkie, such as swimming, diving, water polo, and anything in a pool. I love outdoorsy activities as well like hiking and biking, and I absolutely love traveling and seeing new places. I’m the girl who takes 200 pictures and has 50 face book albums because I absolutely love photography and singing is also a huge passion of mine. I spend as much time with my friends as I can and love going out. I wish I could cook, but sadly the best I can probably do is a solid bowl of cereal (honey bunches of oats w/ almonds and/or cinnamon clusters). My biggest accomplishment of the year 2012 was branching out and going team throwback and getting bangs. Best decision of my year.

I am obsessed with working with kids so I think this will be a great and rewarding experience. I’m so excited to get to know everyone and have a great time in Gaston.
