Success is not temporary, rather it is eternal.

Success is not measured by material possessions, popularity, or notoriety. Rather success can’t be measured at all. The concept of success is variable; every individual views it subjectively and exerts a form of passive personal influence and bias as to what the notion of success entails to them.

Looking back on this conference and all we have experienced in Saint John’s and in commute, the impression this forum has left on the group as a whole and individually is inconceivable to consider. One single person would be unable to conceptualize the overall impact. The success of this conference comes down to one core value; an ideal that has laid the foundation upon which Global Vision was envisioned, a principle which continues to dictate the existence of Global Vision today, an initiative, a guiding light, that will persist in leading Global Vision forward.

WHO WILL CONTINUE THEIR PATH ON THE LTR?

Looking back, how can we determine who has been quintessentially changed by this opportunity? How can we decide who gained from this conference? How can we establish who took what away from this conference? How can we conclude who has developed their skills? How can we know who the GLC has affected? It’ll be interesting to see who will take the reins in directing Global Vision further? Truthfully, I want to know how has this experienced impacted each individual participant?

Therefore, how do we measure the success of the 2012 Atlantic GLC? Is it immeasurable? Or is it a merely a matter of looking at the experience from all perspectives. Is it more relevant to measure this program’s success, by going back to delegates and getting their thoughts and opinions? Are their final actions, the attendee’s continuance or lack of with Global Vision’s programs the true equation?

I went back to participants, to get their thoughts and ideas, to hear their opinions, to see things from their perspectives. I went back to the youth of the 2012 Atlantic GLC to get their view on the true success of the program. Therefore the next five entries you will read will exemplify the experiences of centre delegates, from their own unique, variable perspectives.

For anyone who I didn’t get a chance to sit down with, and would like to add their two cents worth, please feel free to comment with your answers!
