Livin' Life Simplistically

About yvigoddard

This is my favorite picture from the entire trip! Also taken in the Railes, we walked through the entire village to give a propane gas tank to one of the residents so she could cook for her family. One the way back from visiting the lady, I was amazed to see how connected everyone was. This was the type of village where whole families-- parents, uncles, cousins, and grandparents-- all lived together. They understood what it meant to literally put family first, since they were in such close proximity to each other. This shot is taken

This shot is taken "in motion", giving me the ability to see a small glimpse of what a typical day in this village feels like.

Hello, my name is Yvi Goddard and I am 18 years old. I am currently a student at the University of Central Florida, studying Social Work. I would love to travel around the world, counseling people dealing with difficult life situations, whether it is battling drug or alcohol addictions, providing aid for families, or helping mend broken relationships.I am entering the Photography Scholarship contest in hopes of winning the prize to help me fund my education. I had the amazing opportunity to go the Dominican Republic and I would love to continue traveling the world. It would require me finishing my degree and having the money will help me further my goal of traveling. I would be able to do what I love best while seeing the beautiful world we live in.
