LI: To recount a 5 minute snapshot of one experience you had at camp
The Nature’s Highsky
“Don't be scared” That was my cue before I started climbing. Once I got to the ladder my arms and legs were shaking like I was laying in the snow, I gripped the ladder as tight as I could so I would not fall off. The sweat was dripping down my neck and my hands started to heat up like the heat from a stove. I started to climb, the sweat was dripping really fast down my leg as I was really terrified, I got halfway then I breathed in and out and kept going slow
I was halfway to the top, I got to the top. I was scared cause I was really high, and very far away from the ground once I got to the top my heart was beating very fast like a cheetah running and never stopping. I held super tight on the rope that was attached to my harness so I wouldn't slip off, I started to walk across the log still terrified of my life, but my group was on the side supporting and comforting me. So I walked halfway across the log and felt very good about myself, but every time I took a step I felt like I was going to fall into something very deep like the ocean full of sharks. I got to the other side of the log and was very joyful for myself.
After I made it to the other side Caleb said I had to walk to the middle and do some challenges, So I did, I walked to the middle and Caleb said “Would you like to do some challenges” and I said “ No” straight away. Once I said no he said “ok now lean back” so I did, once i leaned back I could feel the cold breeze upon my skin, It also felt like I was flying in the air but I was also petrified at the same time, my feet touched the ground and that was when I felt good about myself cause I've done something I was terrified of.
Last week we went to camp at Kokako Lodge. My 5 minute snapshot shows my personal voice and I have tried hard to paint a picture with my words to describe what I was doing and how I felt.
I found this activity kind of hard because it took me a lot of time to make.
