In order to get ready for Poland, we had a bonding time with our group, Gadid. We all lit candles, and did this thing were we tapped a person if they made a impact on our lives, (The Counselors announced like "made you smile" or "want to know better"). We then got a 2 and a King, in order to symbolize our best and worst moments in our lives. We shared them with the group, and I felt the entire group just get closer by sharing personal moments with people we hardly knew a few weeks before. It was incredible...
At the closing of this bonding time, in the dark, on the basketball court, in the chilly weather, we took our 2's symbolizing out worst memories and burned them in the candles we originally lit. It was a liberating moment, from our past, and bonded us for our future embarkments.
omg wow, bekah this is so amazing!
