Stacy – Journal Entry Activity (BREAK)

Playing ̈mejenga ̈ at the beach with your friends is the best feeling a tico can have. This break at Nicolle ́s 18th birthday beach party, me and my friends decided to play a little match. It was not easy since 4 random guys joined us. Of course it was not weird for us since we are ticos which are ̈pura vida ̈. What I learned from this activity was to never give up. Since my team was the one who lost, however, every time someone fails, that person needs to stand up and fight for their objectives. Another outcome I learned was to think before you speak, because that can cause a problem with people in your surroundings. And last, I learned that good things in life will come over time. It was nice to share with my friends once again, with an activity that everyone likes. The best part was that despite the result, everyone had gained something. My personal growth consists of showing you're good at one specific aspect in order to succeed in life. However, being a risk taker is the best attribute that represents this situation. Because in life, a person never knows what's going to happen, and in order to know you have to talk risks.
