Well, I have survived my first week here in beautiful sunny Mexico! So far, I've built a house, fallen in love with a Mexican family, explored our town, played charades with the man at the meat counter at the grocery store to explain "ground beef", watched the sunset on the ocean, attempted to tan my pasty white skin, eaten goat, shark, and lots of authentic Mexican food, and gotten to know so many amazing people in our community including the seniors at the old folks home we volunteer at, and the kids at the schools we teach at! Everyday is a new adventure and it's so exciting to see what the next day will bring. My spanish skills are improving daily and I'm beginning to be able to carry on full conversations with the Mexican people!
I'm learning so much and having a blast.
Thanks for checking in on me!
I'll post again soon.
Absolute School of Leadership is an 8-month leadership program which will take me on a four-month long tour of Canada where I will be participating in motivational speeches in highschools. I will spend the other four months living in Mexico where I will be teaching english, building houses, helping to lead humanitarian trips and doing other volunteer humanitarian work . The organization is going through a transformation right now, changing their name from Absolute to Live Different!
