Abigail Newton: "If happiness were the National Currency..."

I recently went to Peru through an organization called Impossible 2 Possible. In Peru, I joined four other youth ambassadors to run 150 miles through the Andes Mountains and Peruvian Amazon over the span of six consecutive days. We did this to challenge and push ourselves beyond perceived limits too encourage and inspire others to do the same. Classrooms from around the world subscribed to what we were doing and followed along. In addition to running, we supplied an education component looking at how humans impact ecosystems and the services they provide to us. Our success here is measured by the value of money. In Peru, it seemed to be based on happiness. "IF happiness were the National Currency. would you be rich?"

Abigail Newton currently attends Michigan State University, disguised as an ordinary student. We all know better.
