Yesterday was the craziest day of my life . i thought for a moment , i wasn’t going to make it for the trip. I did not even know about the GP Cross Cultural Trip until jean call around 11 saying some of the Gp are leaving this Afternoon . I wasn’t prepare , i manage somehow and got ready. For some reasons today was a bad day for me . I know the Gp office so well like my pocket but today i took the wrong train. When i got to the GP office. i make it in time . Cashley

today i thought that wasn’t able to make it to the GP cultural trip because every one had to be there by 8:00AM so i didn’t start packing and find something else to do. however, jean call and say that he bought me the bus ticket and they are waiting for me. i’ll look bad if i didn’t accept their offer so i accept. i was in a hurry packing all the things i need, printing document i need and buying the things i need. i was not able to meet the designated time but i manage to get in the office to give them my papers. i manage to leave with one staff to catch the 5:30 bus and wait 5 hours to arrive in boston and it was 10:30 PM. so far this was my adventure in the first day of this GP cultural trip.

This year I took a break from GP because I was busy with my school work and applying for college.

On this past week I got reconnected to Global potential, I remember all the experiences that I did when I travel to Dominican Republic. Every time I remember the good things about GP, I discover more about myself and the great experiences that I had travelling and getting to know a lot people.

Today August 06 I travel to Boston, so far is a great place to live is calm and the people are friendly. I’m really excited about the activities that we going to do this week and the group work that we do to make things better.

We visited Harvard university, is a great college, and I think Boston is a good place for me to go to college.

So far, this summer has been a really quiet one (in comparison with others). Aside from giving some way to spend time actually doing something, GP has enabled me to discover a bit more about myself. I’m no longer under the illusion that I’m afraid of exploring the previously unexplored. Also, there is no way I am going to allow people to trample me any longer; and put me under the impression that whenever it happens it is because I deserved it, or simply because that’s what I’m entitled to.

The program thus far has allowed me to push myself to express whatever I want to express, regardless of other people’s thoughts about it. Essentially, the experiences that I’ve ad during the time in the program allows me to be a bit more of a free spirit, and less of a tangled web of concealed emotion, thought, and expression.
