Philly

o Kouzes and Posner suggest exemplary leaders should “treat every job as an adventure.” What have you learned about how to do this on this trip?
This was my first time in Philadelphia and I see every trip as a new adventure. The definition of adventure is an exciting or very unusual experience. After reading this definition I believe the word adventure describes this whole trip, it was all new to me. I knew that this was a service trip but there were also going to be some historic, normal Philadelphia things, tied into it. As we went to our different service locations, we had to experience the rough neighborhoods, which is something I was not used too. We adventured through the neighborhoods, good and bad, and through the public transportation, even some people got lost. There were times in which we felt out of our comfort zone, but it Is good to branch out and try new things. When we first arrived in Philadelphia we were staying in a loft in an area that we were unsure of. After a couple of days in the loft, we moved to a hostel, before this trip I had never even heard of a hostel before. The hostel was very different and not something I would want to do all the time, but it was nice to be downtown and walking distance from many places. It was a great time to experience something new with a big group like ours. We got to see different historical aspects such as murals, liberty bell, independence hall, the first church, and multiple museums. I adventured out and tried many things I would not have if it would not have been for this trip, such as the colonial meal. Even if it was not my favorite I still can say that I have tried it before.Baca selengkapnya
