 Rachel
Plassmeyer (‘06): Since the Holocaust trip, I’ve successfully
completed my first year at Notre Dame. It was awesome-- I really believe
that I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. I’m playing volleyball for St.
Mary’s, an all-girls’ school affiliated with Notre Dame that sits right
across the street. I’ve declared my majors, Psychology, Sociology, and
Spanish (which I know sounds like a lot, but I’m already almost done
with Spanish, and Psych and Soc. overlap a bit). I just got home from a
mission trip to Reynosa, Mexico, where we built a house for a family of
seven that had been living under two tarps. I really do think about the
Holocaust trip a lot--I’m doing what I can to get invovled with stopping
what’s going on in Darfur; I am friends with Senator Sam Brownback, who
has been playing a major role in US invovlement through Congressional
Bills and Acts and such. I’ve lent out many books that we received last
year, and people are always eager to hear stories and look at pictures
from the trip. I miss everyone!
