    Making Headlines

    Imagine that a year has passed, and your trip to Nicaragua has come and gone. Your local newspaper has decided to write an article about you and your experience.

    • What is the headline?

    • What does the article say about you?

    • Who is quoted in the article, and how do they describe you?

    • How have you impacted the community?

    • How are you remembered as a leader?


    Think about those questions and write your thoughts in your Reflection Journal.

    Be sure to keep this so that you can read it in the future.*
