My name is Tricia Veale. I am a sophomore here at Winona State University. I am majoring in Communication Studies with a minor in Women's and Gender Studies. I took the New Orleans class because the volunteer work was something that I had never done before. It was an amazing experience, as well as an emotional experience. I witnessed things that I never imagined I would see in person. It is an experience I will never forget, and one that I am going to share with everyone.
