These experiences were so beneﬁcial because it gave me a chance to know myself apart from who I am in society. I learned things about myself that I never even thought about. Like, how I do not mind being without my phone for a while or how I love wild berries. These experiences taught me to let myself go. I got used to the fact that I did not have earrings, lipstick or even a mirror. I had ﬁgured I am still alive without these material things, so why miss them?

I feel like other adolescents should have this experience because it helps you gain character. You get to really think about decisions that you have made; and why they were probably not the best. There are so many surreal things that you see, that you can not see when the city lights are blocking the view, or why you are so bummed about the fact that, you left your phone charger at home. You get to see things that people take for granted on an everyday basis.

This program is amazing because there is no judgment. You do not get laughed at when you have never done something or if you cry because you miss your mommy. It gives you a better outlook on life and gives you an optimistic mindset. These two things are so important to have because it makes it easier to smile, and get through the day. You are better experienced when you are faced with new opportunities and you are more open to things that you have never imagined being open to. You are more open to life.

Thank You so much outward bound community you have changed my life forever.
