The beginning of fun day wasn’t so fun in the morning, the anticipation and fear of everyone’s grumpy morning mood was an obstacle, but we did it! The beginning of the day started with a 2 hour bus ride to a lagoon named Masaya. We all learned that fun day doesn’t mean hanging out with individual people; it means having fun and hanging out as a big Global Glimpse family. Surprisingly, throughout the day, I was able to get everyone to cooperate and help me make this day a real fun “Fun Day”. Today there were multiple challenges but one thing that was a challenge for all of us was swimming to the platform at the lagoon. We made it through this challenge by supporting and having patience for each other.
After that we went to the Granada (Colonial), which was one of the first cities built in Nicaragua. Being there made us feel like we were in a very historical place and shopping there for souvenirs was just the cherry on top. Being “El Lider Del Dia” was an amazing experience for me. I was able to show off a new side of myself to my fellow glimpsers and I got to talk to people that I’ve never talked to before in our group. What also made this day, of all days, really fun was the bus ride back. It may have taken longer than we expected but the longer ride allowed time for most people to sleep and to just talk and have fun. Whether it was dancing on the bus or listening to music, or even singing songs, both Global Glimpsers from WP and BCS know how to have fun and make every moment a memorable one.

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” – Maya Angelou
It looks like you guys are off to a great start. Keep your eyes open. Keep your minds open. Make friends and come back home invigorated and ready to share your experiences.
This looks so incredibly beautiful! I want to jump in that water!
Naturally you would be a great “Leader of the Day.” (translation?) Did you get a chance to see the Volcanic National Park at Masaya?
I love that you challenged yourself this day to be a leader, and in the end, you were able to benefit from being a leader by talking to people you don’t usually acquaint yourself with. You never know who you are going to make a connection with, so always try and push yourself to get to know who is around you. You might have even taught the people in your group something new, or showed them something they never would have thought about- keep up the good work!
Mi alumnita más brillante,
Yo estoy muy pero MUY orgulloso de ti. Sigues esforzándote y buscando oportunidades de aprender más. Es un honor poder decir que te tuve en clase. Te mando muchas vibras positivas. Que sigas aprovechando!!!!!
Juliza, your reporting on the day is very engaging. I enjoy your observations of the place and people. Tell Shiek I said hello and that I am impressed that he milked a goat. McClish, this is such a wonderful trip. We will keep your garden watered back at base.
Great to make every moment a memorable one. Keep up the good work and leadership Juliza.
