For an educational trip I visited Mount Abu with the school. We participated in multiple activities such as, trekking, caving, and rock climbing. I have done physical activities such as these, since I like taking risks and putting myself in situations that challenge me, but this time it felt too easy. It was fun getting a chance to go out with friends, playing new team building games to develop relationships with my peers, and going through one of the worst changes in climate.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

LO1: Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth<\/span><\/p>\n

During the Treks in the trip, i was able to observe myself having mental toughness because even when it felt like they were not going to end or i wont be able to finish, i kept a strong state of mind and followed through. I also noticed that my endurance had dropped a lot because i was getting tired very easily which is something i can grow upon.<\/p>\n

LO2: Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process<\/span><\/p>\n

The walk included rough terrain, high inclines, and erratic weather. I had a number of difficulties during the journey, including altitude sickness and tremendous exhaustion, which pushed my physical and mental boundaries. I\u00c2\u00a0was able to overcome these difficulties though by learning new skills along the way. For instance, I discovered that taking regular rests, drinking plenty of water, and controlling my activity helped me acclimatize to the\u00c2\u00a0high altitude. Also, I discovered how to keep my balance and lessen the pressure on my legs.<\/p>\n

LO4: Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences<\/span><\/p>\n

I prepared well and was determined to finishing the hike. I made an smart choice\u00c2\u00a0in bringing things like caps, gloves, and thermal apparel so that i would not have much trouble. I maintained my fortitude and persisted despite the challenging circumstances. I divided the journey into doable objectives, maintained a steady pace, and took frequent stops to recharge. I kept reminding myself of my objective and the reward of reaching the peak. I was also motivated by the devotion and tenacity of my fellow trekkers, who stood as my positive examples.<\/p>\n

The camp was very fun and thrilling. It was a good to get a break from school and the regular life.<\/p>\n
