Hi everyone! My names Mateo Cintron (he/him) and I’m a student at Springfield Central High in Springfield, MA. This trip has been the highlight of my year and I can’t wait to get traveling with everyone. At SCHS, I do a little bit of absolutely everything. I’ve been playing volleyball since I was a freshman, am in both our spring and fall theater productions, founder of our Garden Club, and above all, this years Student Body President. Within that, I also work part-time serving ice cream as well as at a community garden in Springfield.

With the time I do have at home, I love video games, being outside in my home garden, drawing and creating, taking photos of my little sisters, hanging out with my cats, and seeing live music.
I applied to Global Glimpse as a way to combine my love for traveling and adventuring with my passion for community service. I love that I’ll be making a difference in a community separate from my own while simultaneously appreciating the culture of another. My family is such a big part of my life, and I want the work I do outside of my home to be an example for my little sisters.

Can’t wait to get on that plane,

Mateo Cintron
