Last month our school was captivated by a visit from Expedition Impossibles’ winning team The Modern Gypsies. (John Post, Eric Bach, Taylor Filasky)
ABC’s Expedition Impossible followed 13 teams across Morocco in an Indiana Jones style race. The winning team spoke at Harvey Milk about what it took for them not only to be chosen to be on the show, but the kind of teamwork and skills it took to win the race.
The Modern Gypsies spoke about their strong teamworking strategies which support each other do do their best – a message HMCRA students are empowered with from Coach Glenn and the teachers on a regular basis. They also spoke about the academic skills necessary to win this kind of race. Sure, they had to be able to wrangle stallions, repel cliffs, and ride camels , but they needed to call on their intelligence and mental toughness as much as their physical strength.
Collectively, the Modern Gypsies have worked, volunteered, lived in and traveled to over 45 countries. After the race, they continue to inspire individuals to explore both themselves and the world around them, and to raise awareness and generate funds to address the many challenges faced by the impoverished world.
Joining them was Shane Shooter Nelson who worked on the show – designing and testing the course. Being a trailblazer himself, he inspired the children to consider themselves as adventurers and to believe in their potential – to take risks – to realize that any one of them could be riding those stallions in a future that they are building now.
