My name is Melissa and I am 17 years old. I love to help people, and I really want to travel. I love animals and taking pictures. I am a hard worker and love kids. I feel that God has been telling me to go on a mission trip were they really need our help. I have gone to Mexico for the past 3 years and have loved it. It is so inspirational. I love to swim and play most sports. I am really excited about this trip and hope I get chosen. I sponsor a little boy named Kevin in Ecuador. He is so adorable and we write each other. He is turning 8 this year.
