　　A

文体 记叙文 题材 个人经历 　　This summer，I was part of something that I have carried with me every day since.That was an experience that changed my life.The Kentucky YMCA has a program called Y－Corps，which are service trips of around 20 students.This summer，two trips were made across Kentucky，one down south and the other trip up north.

　　I was on the Y－Corps Service to the North in Indianapolis，Indiana，and our trip began at the end of July.I had butterflies flying around me as my parents drove me to Louisville，where the Service to the North team would set off on a nine－day journey on a school bus.I knew some of the team members from previous Y－Conferences，but there were many that I had never met，and I had never participated in a service trip like this before.Though I was nervous，I was also ready to try something completely out of my comfort zone.Once we loaded the bus with our lightly packed suitcases and sleeping bags，we said our goodbyes to our parents and departed for an adventure that changed all of our lives.

　　With the Kentucky Y's motto："Participate，don't anticipate(预知)"，we had no idea where we headed.Road signs were our only clue to where we would be stopping.We did service work at a Middle Way House in Indiana，a Detroit Market Garden，a Pennsylvania YMCA for an invasive species clean－up，the Upper Main Line Y in Pennsylvania to spend time with children at a summer camp，a Hurricane Sandy clean－up in Jersey Shore and the National Mall in Washington D．C..We slept on floors of local YMCAs that would take us in for a night，and some nights we didn't have the opportunity to shower.We had late nights on the road driving from city to city，and early mornings to start the day recording and reflecting on the day before.

　　Though we were physically exhausted from the hard work，we still enjoyed the time to experience the culture of the areas we were in.
