Day 6 – the double a Batteries – (Anoushka & Abbie)
Student Trip Blog
My name is Desmond Sparks, and I am a rising senior at Da Vinci Communications. I grew up in Hawthorne, California. I am going to Constanza in the Dominican Republic on June 18th. Some of my favorite things to do are play the drums (and the congas) and listen to music. I am mostly excited to see the scenery, as I heard that Constanza is known as the “Switzerland of the Caribbean”.
