Student Trip Blog

hello! (No. 26)

Hello everyone! My name is Kyle Hobson, and I am one of your Global Glimpse Leaders (GGLs) for our trip to Costa Rica! This will be my first time traveling with Global Glimpse and I am beyond excited to share this experience with all of you. 

I am a Holyoke High School Social Studies, Ethnic Studies, and Early College Program teacher. I completed my student teaching at HHS and started working there after I graduated from Westfield State University. I recently completed my Masters program fully online at Fitchburg State University. I am the Psychology Club Adviser, and the team leader for our Community and Global Studies Academy that allows students to take classes centered around criminal justice, public policy, government, psychology, and ethnic studies! Global Glimpse falls right into the types of classes I teach :)!

In my spare time, I enjoy fashion, tattoos, working out at the gym, playing basketball, watching TV shows, spending time with my girlfriend, listening to music (all genres!), and reading about psychology! Recently, I have also started to become very into soccer and its history! I am definitely not a good soccer player though!

I look forward to finally meeting all of you in person, stepping out of my comfort zone, and going through this AWESOME experience with each and every one of you. See all of you very soon :)!

– Kyle

Another soccer fan, woohoo! I also only started to become interested in soccer in adulthood, but I’ve found it’s one of the best ways to connect with people in other countries. This might be true for you in Costa Rica as well ?
