Pura Vida Parents and Families,
This is Kaavya and Daisy, the LDDs here to recap the day. Today we went to the park for a picnic and spent some time chilling at the accommodation. Later, we traveled to Turrialba, where we visited the old train station and learned about the history and impact of colonialism in the city. We also got to go to a panaderia (bakery) and got to try delicious Costa Rican pastries! We had a couple of bumps today, but everyone came together and persevered throughout the day and managed to still have a great time.
Being a leader definitely came with a lot of pressure and responsibility, requiring me to be ready to adapt at a moment’s notice. The day was without a permanent schedule, which left even more up to us, but the experience taught me to advocate for myself and trust in my abilities. – Kaavya
My experience being an LDD came with the realization of how open-minded and flexible a leader truly needs to be. Surprisingly, it was difficult having such an open schedule, yet we managed to pull through. I appreciate Kaavya for partnering with me and stepping up when I couldn’t be there. – Daisy
Overall, today was full of learning and perseverance. We would now like to pass the torch on to Chloe and Landon, who we are sure will be great leaders.
Signing off,
Kaavya and Daisy
My poor baby. She’s strong yet fragile. Thank you all for being a support system to her while she’s away from her family support system. I wanted to hear from her and see her face but not under these circumstances lol! It was good to hear from you baby girl. Such a trooper despite it all. I hope this doesn’t keep you from other activities having use of only one arm. Poor thing. I love you! Make sure to keep icing and taking your meds. Sorry this happened to you, AGAIN. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more post from the group. Looks like the free day was a success despite the injury. Glad you both were able to lead and learn at the same time. Great lifelong memories are being made. Thank you Kaavya, for picking up where Daisy couldn’t. Great team work!
