PEORIA - Many students look forward to
their spring break for some time off, but 40 students from Bradley University
aren't taking a break.
They're spending the week volunteering
in places across the country, making stops in St. Louis, Memphis, Mississippi
and Texas.
Two of those students shared their
reasons for taking an alternate spring break.
Sam Babb said, "It really gives
students an opportunity to make that example from college students that we're
not all just partying over spring break, we actually do care and we want to
make a difference."
Hayley Dryoel said, "Why go home and
sit around or why go to a beach when I could go help people that are less
fortunate because I just love volunteering."
The students are paying for the trip out of their own pockets. It's through a group on campus called "Students Today, Leaders Forever."
