Living It Up



We are all having an amazing second week here in Crete! Today we continued with our lectures by listening to Dr. Betty Siegel discuss the importance of ethical leadership and maintaining trust, respect, optimism, and intention when leading a group. Then Mrs. Barbara Dooley talked with us about overcoming obstacles, including stories of her own such as dealing with cancer. It was very interesting to listen to both of them speak and feel very privileged to have them here on the trip with us! We’re also starting to work on our papers that are due Sunday, as we don’t want to have to deal with them in Santorini during the activities they have planned for us there.

We have been having such a great experience here in Crete, along with our time in Greece as a whole. I think we have all gotten a lot closer since coming here to the islands and it’s hard to believe we now have less than two weeks left here with Global LEAD and in Greece. This last week and a half we all plan to make the most of our trip and take advantage of everything that is offered to us.
