Hey guys it is Maya Wharton coming to you live from Constanza! Today was another Free Day for the Glimpsers which was a nice treat before we start our CAP project. HOORAY!
Although it was a Free Day, we still had big responsibilities to take care of. The Economics team: Victory, Brandon and Josh, The Leader of the Day: myself and one of our Global Glimpse Leaders: Nicole took initiative and bought the supplies for the CAP project.
Considering the fact it was a Free Day, most of the students split up to enjoy their break. Some girls straightened their hair to switch up their normal appearances. Some group members went to a local ice cream shop, Bon, which is known as the best ice cream shop in Constanza. Other group members decided to get souvenirs for family members and friends back at home. Some people decided to have a girls versus boys’ basketball game. Overall everyone had a good day.
After free time, the Glimpsers taught their final English Class. This was not only our last class teaching, but it was also the last class this summer for our students. They have graduation on Friday so we all spent most of class preparing for our graduation ceremony. We ended English classes with a blast!
Today I believe the group learned that life is not just about working hard, it is also to enjoy and appreciate each moment. The value of life is to be present and grateful.
What I learned as Leader of the Day is the same concept. Life will have road bumps and you will get stressed, but it is not worth it to dwell on it. You should not let those toxic feelings consume you. Live thoughtfully, learn, and always be compassionate.
Maya I am so happy to hear that you had a good day as the leader of the day. You are also very right, in life it will be hard and stressful but not all the time can you dwell in it. I hope this is a lesson we can all remember once school starts again. I am happy that you are having a amazing time and can not wait to hear all about it when you go home. Have fun and live it up in the name of somaya!
Maya,
Glad to hear that your day as leader of the Day went well. I expected no less! I can’t wait to hear about your trip. Remember, soon, you will be planning YOUR OWN graduation!

Hi Maya! I believe this won’t be the last time you are a leader. All of you are capable to be one on any area. Hey tell Joshua “Happy Lefthanders Day”.
Ms. Maya. I’m so glad for an opportunity to respond to your contribution. I’m impressed to see the great leadership Qualities that you guys possess. Great leaders like you guys PAY before you PLAY. They do what they HAVE to do so they can comfortably and conscious-free do what they WANT to do. KUDOS!
And as corny as it may be it’s imperative to live in the present as you said. That’s why it’s called a GIFT (present ). LIFE/time is your most precious commodity. Live it with passion and purpose and you won’t be disappointed.
God bless you guys in all you do! Congratulations on completing the Classes. DR will never be the same because of you. Hope the graduation went well.
Victory wonderful to hear your voice. Please take care of my daughter. I love you so much. Better have my earrings and teashirt. See you soon. Big hug and many kisses. MOMMY
