I am going to be participating in Outward Bound California this summer. I am extremely fulfilled to be joining the program because it will give me a challenging journey that will make this adventure worthwhile and beneficial. My opinion of this opportunity I have at hand is one that I know I shall and won't take for granted because rarely do we have time to enjoy the outdoors and appreciate everything that our world provides to us without technology. I think that this program will help me develop my leadership and perseverance by unraveling skills and virtues to increase my personality.

I am anxious on working with a team of people my age committing to a journey this difficult because they can be very beneficial coming with no predictions on what might occur that could impact me. I chose this program because I have loved the outdoors since I was born. Having a childhood in my backyard or in any type of park being adventure park of wildlife. This caused me to love seeking new sights compared to the same perspective I got at home. I believe that participating in this program will help me develop greater skills on how to have complete trust in myself by challenging myself to generate enough motivation and grit to keep going. These traits are some of many I do not say that I will use in my everyday life.
