JUNE 27 - JULY 3
Joy
Hey Lightgliders!
How do you make an octopus laugh? With ten-tickles!
If you thought that joke was funny, then please know that it was mine. If you didn’t, then it was Marlon’s!
Hey everybody, I am Santiago! I try to bring life to the Lightglider Academy party! I cannot tell you HOW MUCH FUN it is to be alive today. And I cannot tell you how great it is to be a Lightglider. You know what our goals are, right? RESPECT. RESCUE. RESTORE.
I believe that to RESTORE includes bringing joy to people who need it. Sometimes through laughter. Sometimes through music. Sometimes through just hanging out and being friendly. Everyone is totally unique, so it can be difficult to know what will bring joy to another. I make it my goal to find out. Do you know what brings you joy? I would love to know!
I grew up in Honduras in a large house with a bunch of other boys. None of us were related but they are my brothers. We’ve been through a lot together. Do you know what brings me joy? People. Having people to talk to, hang out with, and care for is the greatest. I hope you find that here at Lightglider Academy.
Ok, one more joke. Did you hear about the famous pickle? He was a big dill!
Ah, pickle jokes. I relish them.
Glide on!
Santiago
