REFLECTION STATEMENT:

This activity was organized by our CAS coordinator and Biology teacher in order to introduce us into hiking as a way of increasing one’s physical fitness. He explained us how to climb through mountain paths, how to use natural markers in order not to lose oneself in the forest, how to leave marks for the ones that are left behind, how to walk, and when to rest. Ir was rather difficult to walk through paths that no-one has passed through in months, and some maybe years. Thus, climbs were very difficult which presented a great inconvenience to all of us that were not in best shape for any physical activity. Still, as I wanted to finish the course, I was did not hesitate to use all my power to pass through the route planned. I also did not forget those that remained behind the main group, so occasionally I would run back from the main group to those that were left behind. In this way I could guide them through the routes we passed, and help them reach the final destination. As I returned back to the group that was behind the main group, I also had to follow the signs left by the forward group about direction and paths we are to take. All in all, this was an experience that was worth all the strength, power, and effort. ______
