Mariana, 8/9/11

Hi, The challenge of my day was based on the withdraw of comfort. Just a simple thing can bring your world going upside down and turning sideways. I liked all the challenges we've had so far but a game called "Mi Gatito" got to me. The rules were simple; act like a cat and get someone to laugh well saying "Gatito, gatito Mi lindo gatito" to you. Judgment as all i could think about about, I've never felt so embarrassed and shy to do such a little task in my 17 years of life. There was no choice in passing so i guess you can say i took a leap of faith and just went for it. You never realize what your truth potential is till you've been pushed to  the limit even if it was just a game.

Mariana,

Way to push yourself. I was expecting you to be the one who was the most engaged in this activity, but like you said, once it was your turn to jump in the middle you withdrew. This just goes to show that even though we might posses the qualities of an excelling individual, we all our fears that hold us back from reaching greatness.

It was great seeing you go through with it and not give up despite the immense discomfort. Keep it up! You’re a cool individual. Quiet at times, but you know it’s because there is something cooking up in your mind. Demonstrate to everyone how much you can accomplish and don’t let yourself be held back by the fear of ridicule or judgment. You said it yourself today when you presented your Coat of Arms. You know what decisions are best for you; so don’t let anyone or anything impede you from becoming that awesome individual.

Stay strong Mariana. I hope the rest of the week stays fun and you enjoy what we have in store.

- Eder
