Rafting

Yesterday was one of the funniest days of my life, me and half of my class went rafting in the grey river. my favourite part of the whole experience was definitely going over the massive rapids I was so scared the whole time at one point I thought that I would just jump out of the raft because I was sure that we were going to flip, I screamed so loud that you could probably hear me from the north island.

I loved not just the rafting but getting to hang out with my friends. cooking was also a highlight for me apart from when I walk away to clean a plate and I leave Calder in charge then when I come back they are

our cooked pasta all over the ground so the pasta that we ate tasted a bit like grass.

I loved rafting so much because it took me way out of my comfort zone it is a really good experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

            

Rock climbing and abseiling

Last week we went rock climbing and abseiling I was super nervous about everything I was going back in my head about the likelihood of the rope snapping or me falling to my death but I knew that I was just worrying too much. I was the first person down the abseil my main reason was because I wanted to get it over and done with but when I was down the bottom I wanted to go down again, it felt like I had just come off a rollercoaster. 

Next, we had the rock climbing I was really excited for this because I had been rock climbing heaps before this and I loved it I started with the hardest one first mainly because there were other people on the easy one when I got half way up I thought holy moly as I looked down on the sea crashing against rocks, I thought I couldn't get any higher that it was impossible but I thought as though if I made it to the top that I would get another abseil and that is what motivated me.

I loved the thrill that came with rock climbing and abseiling and it was a great experience that I will never forget.            

National young leaders day

National young leaders day 2016

This week we went to NYLD ( National young leaders day) I was very excited when we got there but I didn't know if it was good or not because I had never been, all the speakers were very good and very inspirational I really liked the first speaker, Billy Graham, he told us that when he was our age he had to be put into a special class because he wasn't smart enough but that never stopped him doing the things that he loves, he has really taught me that nothing is impossible if you have a dream go for it.

My favourite speaker was James beck he was sooooo funny he had a really good Quote "sometimes being a leader you have to follow not just lead" which I can relate to in many ways.

By far the most inspirational speaker of the day was Brylee mills she was in a serious car accident when she was younger she had to have her arm removed she thought that she wouldn't be able to do  dance again but she did she was the first disabled dancer to get into the top Sydney dance school if she can do all that then I can really do anything I dream of.

it was a great experience all around and maybe one day I will do something great and thank each and everyone for inspiring me.
