Not just a nickname. Fact, she is a trailblazer. Weather it's because she can meet any situation with a bag of tools (or more appropriately, a traveling pharmacy), she's first to set out on the zip line, showing her students first hand that fear can be put aside and trust instilled, or that she set out to be the FIRST teacher to travel with a group of students to Costa Rica with Discovery Student Adventures! Ms. Gonzales, or as her students refer to her, coach G/Gilbert, is an amazing asset to our program. She stepped up, jumped in, literally in some cases (rappelling into the waterfalls!), and clung to what Discovery Student Adventures offered her...knowledge, hands on experience, adventure and teachable moments. She is in every way a trailblazer.
We look forward to greeting her again in February on our RETURNING teacher trip to Ecuador, and helping her build her 2011 travel group!
Sandra, thank you for giving of yourself, and trusting in us, to give your students the opportunity to experience the world through the eyes of Discovery! You are a trailblazer...and I ALREADY miss you!!!
Congratulations Sandra! I can't wait to meet you in Ecuador
ReplyDeleteThank you for making this such an awesome trip for these kids!!
ReplyDeleteThe kids and our Costa Rica friends are what made the trip a great success. I was merely a small part of it. Anson, I REALLY hope to see you and others from the DSA team in Ecuador too!
