At my Collectively Canadian Kick-Off meeting we did this ice-breaker where you have a 'bingo' of facts about people and basically it's a sheet of paper that everyone gets that has random facts like 'has gone fishing in the winter' or 'speaks more than one language' and you need to put a name with each fact by going around the room talking to people. This was the first time I have ever enjoyed this activity. I think it's because of all my practice doing it for CISV. I swear my entire life has been leading up to these last few days, but that's another topic.
I realized while doing this activity that I have done a LOT in my life. I have seen a live bear up close (this one stuck out to me, because I had a conversation with this guy about it, wherein he was shocked that I had seen not one, but like five bears in the wild), I have hiked Grouse Mountain -more than once- (I can't believe so many people haven't done it ever! The fact sheet only required you to have done it once), I have met people from around the world, I have traveled to different provinces and different countries, and so much more. I can't remember exactly what was on that sheet, but it got me thinking that I really have done a lot. When I see an opportunity for ANYTHING I try to get it and that's what's led me to have a lot of experiences, but also my parents are encouraging and all that. Other things I've done in life =
-swam with dolphins
-seen cirque du soleil twice (two different ones)
-been to Disneyland twice and Disneyworld once
-traveled to places alone -as in flights-
-been carried in a mosh pit (big crowd at concerts.. it's intense -- Mariana's Trench) -- and the carrying was me over the border cause I was being squashed. ~ I actually had a better time once out of it, just walking around in the cool and not crowded air and looking at random paintings in these tents that were set up.
-have emergency first aid/CPR training
-been inches from some giraffes
-met people from all over the world
-been away from home and my parents for more than a month
-been in a hostel with a bunch of people from my CISV Seminar
-been around the world
-seen a Christmas parade WITH LIVE CAMELS in Barcelona
-been on several cruises
-been to Egypt, Italy, Panama Canal, Alaska, Cuba, Mexico, etc.
-been skiing and snowboarding and tubing
-changed my clothes on a bus full of people (CISV Seminar haha)
-led a meeting full of people (Seminar again)
-to be continued
What have you done that is unique or unusual or just normal and you're proud of it?
