Most challenging bits… |
Rock climb, I used to be scared of heights! | Sea level traversing going on the rocks when they where slippy. And I was also scare of jumping off the cliffs. | The climbing as I enjoy climbing and pushing myself to the limit and I found it extremely exhilarating | Takin da nicas da I found offff ma bedd oww gross bwahhhh !!! L | Spending a whole day scrambling up a really rocky mountain called Tryfan when I’m really scared of heights! |
|
What did you learn about yourself? |
Overcame my fear of heights | Overcome my fears. And working well as a team. | That I can become friends with people that I otherwise wouldn’t have been friends with and it has opened my mind to other types of people | Very sxc stronngg gemmmzzzzziieee n I get prettier every day I cnt wait til 2 morraa !!! kiss x.x.x.x..x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x | I’ve learnt to put trust in myself and other people especially when I think I am completely unable to do something! |
|
What did you learn about others (your team mates? |
Liam was very helpful during the rock climb, provided encouragement. | That they were all very helpful and really nice. | First impressions aren’t everything. Barriers of perception can be broken down | That der all fab lil chicks best team mwahh ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) :P J | That no matter what background people come from, everybody has the ability to work together and form a great team of friends. |
|
What did you learn about the environment? |
Not a lot, I was already fairly aware of the environment. | I had never been to Oakland’s before so everything was new too me. I learnt all different things about the environment. | Its outstanding beautiful |
