Don't Think Twice

This year (2023), I have been trying to gain more experiences before I go off to college next fall. I saw an email from Global Glimpse one day and I read it, being a bit skeptical. But I decided to jump into it and let myself take the risk and the opportunity. I felt a bit nervous about a few things on the trip, like not knowing Spanish in a Spanish speaking country, being out of the country without family, not having my phone to text my friends, worrying about making friends, pushing myself to try new things, and more. But I realized that the trip was only for two weeks and it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. To be very honest, the whole experience just felt like summer camp, I didn't even feel like I was in another country. Every day was a new activity so everything was so exciting. All of the leaders and students were picked perfectly, our group had a great dynamic, so everyone was included and we all became great friends. One bad thing, though, was the altitude difference made a lot of us a little sick, so some of us missed out on a few activities. I am not sure how to exactly put this whole experience into this review, it was all so gorgeous and fun. This is something you remember for the rest of your life, something you add to your resume and tell your kids and grandkids. Global Glimpse was such an eye opener and gave me so much confidence in myself and hope for future travels. If you are how I was and you're not sure if this is a good idea, don't even think twice about it. Get started on that application and talk your parents into it!!
