Whether it was a service trip or a vacation with the family, students spend their spring breaks in all sorts of exciting ways. The Daily Gamecock asked to get students' stories from their breaks. Here are a few of the submissions.
Family vacation
Second-year business student Stephen Wythe went to Vista Verde Ranch in Colorado with his family. In addition to dog-sledding, Wythe and his family went cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and horseback riding. When it was time to relax, they watched the snow fall from the warmth of a hot tub.
Adventures with friends
Second-year accounting student Wills Roman enjoyed his break with a group of fellow Gamecocks at Clearwater Beach in Tampa, Florida.
Service abroad
First-year business student Nina Raso went on her second trip with Students Helping Honduras, a student organization that helps build schools for children in Honduras. Raso said it was exciting to see how much progress had been made on the middle school they were working on, which they had started during the winter trip in January. The USC volunteers worked alongside people from the village and the students who would eventually go to the school. Raso said that the new classrooms would keep older kids from having to go to school on the weekends or trying to learn in crowded elementary school classrooms.
