A Life Less Ordinary


We started off our day with a thought provoking lesson involving the visions of our lives. "It is direction not intention that determines destination." We listened to the inspiring speeches of Martin Luther King junior and Mandela and then had the opportunity to write our own visions. We all took the time to reflect and really think about where we want our lives to go, how we are going to get there, and how we want to be remembered. What better place to dream than the most beautiful island in the world, Santorini. Some of us want to be known for the way we love and serve others, some want to be known for living a life less ordinary but we all seemed to have the common theme of wanting to make an impact on the world in our own unique way. We hope to take everything we have learned on this trip and put it into action as soon as we return. We spent the rest of the day relaxing on the beach and working on our homework. The brave ones even decided to cliff jump. We bonded even more by counting down as our friends prepared to jump. Just like every other day we have had, it will be one we will all remember for a lifetime.
