Janette/ The challenge course
The first thing I saw once I got to the challenge course area was the huge poles. After noticing them I right away knew that it was going to really be a challenge. I really regret not challenging myself cause I have always been afraid of heights.

Angela; Many Challenges
When I first got to the challenge course, I felt so excited to try something so new that I've never done before in my life. I was amazed to see all the different challenges we were going to do for the day, Not only on the course but also working in a team to create team work. Doing the activities and games with the group taught me to trust, communicate, and most importantly work as a team. During the challenge course, i felt stoked to do the things that i was about to do. As I volunteer my self to go on a challenge i felt terrified, and started to worry about the things that could go wrong. The people around me gave me the motivation to jump off the poll and get it over with. After the challenge, I felt accomplished, proud, and confident that I had completed something that I thought was impossible for me to do. I learned that I sometimes we all have to try new things, and step out of our comfort zones without any exceptions.
Yovane, The best day
My second day here in the OSU has been the very best one yet so far because we did the challenge course. When I first saw some of the courses that we were going to do I felt very petrified and ask if I could just support everyone else who are actually going to do the course. Most of the time I was always on the ground supporting other people who were doing the course but once an awhile I've been trying to push myself to do the course but I was still too scared. When the staff announced that we were going to leave I eventually forced myself to do one of the course challenge. Once I was all set I started to climb up the pole but soon afterwards I got too scared and came back down. Even though I didn't complete the challenge I still felt very proud that I even tried.
