So after being here several days, I have concluded that Crete is paradise. The views that I have seen since I arrived here are just incredible. The mountainous terrain coupled with the deep blue water is just picturesque in my opinion. I feel that I am walking in a postcard whenever I look around and see everything. The landscape is just so diverse that it makes for a truly amazing sight.
Today was an off day so everyone got to be able to walk around and explore the town, or if people were feeling adventurous, they could go and do many of the exciting things Crete has to offer. Some people went mountain biking and others, like myself, went to the capital of Crete, Heraklion. The city is not huge, but is home to more than half of Crete’s population. It is right on the ocean, and we were able to shop around and eat right on the waters edge.
Even though today is was an off day, several people including myself started on our leadership papers that are due on Thursday. I had never really thought of how to make myself a better leader going into this trip. I guess I considered myself a leader to others, but not a great leader. Reading and listening to lectures about leadership the past couple of day though, has taught me that there are ton of different ways I can improve on my leadership skills and help others by being role models to them. Being a great leader will be a vital asset in trying to help make this world we all live in a better place and Global L.E.A.D is helping me to achieve this.
