Global Glimpse RB1A

This summer, I had the opportunity to participate in Global Glimpse (GG), a travel abroad program that allows students to grow their leadership skills and help out a community. The most powerful moment of my GG experience was planning and executing the Community Action Project (CAP) . The project required our group to use our leadership skills such as organization, time management, and teamwork. In addition to the leadership opportunities, this trip was not only my first time traveling to a different country without my family but also with a group of students my age. Traveling to a country in South America was a great chance to practice my Spanish! Since we didn't have access to our phones the entire trip, we found ways to bond during non-electronic activities, such as playing soccer, card games, and even in our daily meetings or on bus rides. I believe living with the other Glimpsers was also a good learning experience since it gave me a sense of what living in college dorms might be like. The hotel we stayed at was very clean and attentive. Global Glimpse was on top of the Glimpsers' safety, making sure no one got lost by implementing a headcount and buddy system. Overall, GG was a once in a lifetime experience that I would highly recommend to any student given the opportunity to participate in the program.
