Crystal Carmona is a high school student in San Jose,=20 CA. She has been involved with GFC for three years, = not=20 only as a program participant, but also as a Girls Steering = Committee=20 member and as a GFC spokesperson on TV. Several years ago, she and some GFC peers developed the burrito = hugging=20 activity as a way to say goodbye to a student who was leaving the=20 school. Crystal told us that, "We were thinking we should = just come=20 up with something, and I said, =E2=80=98Oh, a hug!=E2=80=99 = After a while, my=20 teammates were like, =E2=80=98How about a hug that actually means=20 something?=E2=80=99 We were just playing around and then we = became all wound=20 up.=E2=80=9D It was a unique way to say good-bye to others when her peers = rejected a=20 traditional group hug. Last month, a fellow GFC team member and one of her team's = coaches left=20 the group. Emotions were running high. Crystal = recommended=20 that the group burrito hug. As you'll read below, = when the=20 strategy is done in conjunction with GFC's "Queen of the Hill" = activity,=20 burrito hugging can become a part of a perfect closure process = when saying=20 goodbye to group members. Check it out below, and please leave your comments at the = bottom of the=20 strategy for Crystal. |
