Dominican Republic Blog- Day 16- Jason White, Outfielder, Belmont Abbey College
Throughout the entire Dominican Republic trip, I feel as though the people here have had a larger effect on me than I have had on them. Visiting villages in poverty and orphanages made me think that I would be the one who was having a positive impact on them, but...
