My
favorite activity was the high elements. I took part in all of them. It was
really fun as most of the activities were my first time trying it. Example the
flying fox and abseiling, I have never tried it before in my life, it was a
whole new experience for me.
When
I was preparing for the flying fox, I was really excited and I had been looking
forward to this activity ever since we were told during the briefing. On the
other hand, when I was standing at the four level high building, waiting for my
turn, I looked down at the ground; my leg turned as soft as jelly. At the same
time, my hands and legs were shivering as if I am standing on the snow bare
footed during winter. Finally, it was my turn for flying
fox. I was quite afraid, at the same time excited. The moment I pushed myself
forward, I was being pushed through the wind and I felt really cooling. As I
slows down and I came to a stop, I felt really relax and stress less.
Before
we went for the high elements, all the while I doubted myself, Will I be able
to complete high elements? Aren’t I looking forward to this? Why everything
seemed to be so scary and different from what I had seen during the camp
briefing? Will I be able to overcome it? Or shall I just back out? The angel
and devil within me were having a debate in my head. In the end, I decided to
give it a try.
Till
now, I still could not believe that I actually overcome and faced the
difficulties myself. Often, the memories came back to me and were flashing in
my mind over and over again. I had learnt that we should never say no before we
even try. If you never try, you will never know what the results will be. This
is something I will not be able to learn in school. I believe, I will have more
courage to take up challenges in future.
