Physical Challenge

Another exhausting day, I’m so warn, so tired. We’ve had a guest speaker named Alejandro Cruz from Buenos Aires here for about a week and today was his last day, and for class he decided he would put into action what we had learned. He told us to go to our rooms and pack everything we needed for the day, and we only had 5 minutes. You should have seen all us girls flip our room upside down like the world was coming to end. I think I had one of the heavier bags J but maybe not quite.
My bag consisted of my very large wallet, a HUGE water bottle because it was around 102 degrees today so definitely needed that, makeup incase I needed to do a touch up (so very important you see) bronzer, foundation, mascara, all that jazz J lotion for my alligator hands, chapstick, sunscreen, a mirror, my bible and a change of clothes which consisted of capris and a t-shirt. As you can imagine this load was not light, however, these are my necessities for life. In my short 5 minutes I jammed it all in a beach bag and ran back to the class room; of course I was the last to arrive and everybody was heading out of the house to go.
We walked about 5 blocks in the blazing heat, and arrived at the near by park.. I was not happy to be there, this meant I was probably going to spend my afternoon in the amazing wonderful 102 degree weather we have here in Argentina. JOY! My leader Alejandra started to explain how all of us students are now a team, everything we brought is for everyone, and that we had to work together in this game we were going to play. We had to start at point A and get everyone and all there belongings to point B. HOWEVER, the ground was water, and to get to point B you had to wear the magical shoes. To say the least the game did not go well, our team never made it, we never got everyone across however god taught us all quite a big lesson. How we acted during the game really reflected our true character, many times my team mates gave up, sat down, got frustrated, wasted time disagree and well I did what I thought would help and tried to take over, but you cant make anyone do anything, in the end, he offered us one more chance to figure it out and in defeat I decided to opt out of taking the second chance. I think that’s where I failed, it was easier to take the label of defeat than to suffer longer and strive for success. All in all though it was a good challenge for my character and for my classmates. I put together a small video for you to watch of our day, and I plan on uploading it either later today or tomorrow its not working right now so I need to change a few things first! Love to all!
