For 3 days the Seniors went to camp. We went to Woodend camp.
We did some activities like Archery, Rock climbing etc. We had to write about something we thought we couldn't do but achieved it when we gave it a try.
Aero Jump
Aero Jump I wasn’t really looking forward to doing Aero jump. When we came to where the aero jump was held, we got given a number. I was a 7. Me, Zipporah, Siale and Dion were talking about doing backflips. I asked how to do it but I didn’t really get it. Dion says it was easy because he’s done it 2 years ago. I told him I would do a front flip instead.
It was Siale’s turn next. She kept on saying it hurts her thighs when she jumps. She promised she would do a front flip but she didn’t because of how the harness hurts her thighs. After about 2 people it was finally my turn. Dion told me to do a backflip but I didn’t have the guts to. I got on and started to jump. At first I tried to do a front flip but the harness was on the way so I got stuck(I got back on my normal form though) Then I did the backflip. I kept on telling myself “Lean back and tuck” it helps. Once I did it a rush of excited feelings came to me. “I DID IT!” I yelled out. Dion and Siale asked “What you did it?” and “Do it again!” So I did it again and it was fun! My friends encouraged me to do the backflip and it gave me the guts to do it. One of the funny things that happened was in Zipporah’s turn. Zipporah jumped like 2 times and did a backflip she wasn’t high enough so she face planted but we all laughed it off. Dion also wanted to do a backflip but then lost the guts to do so, so I encouraged him like what they did to me. After everyone was done me and Siale had another go and I did more backflips.
If it wasn’t for my friends giving me encouragement I wouldn’t have done a backflip and enjoy the Aero jump activity, I really thought I couldn’t do a backflip since I’m kind of scared of heights but my friends helped and I achieved what I wanted to do.
Annyeong Antonette,
ReplyDeleteWhat great story about camp. We really did have fun doing back flips. I really liked the way you added your reaction and how excited you were. It was interesting for me to know that you were scared of heights but you done what your friends have asked and you sound proud and you really enjoyed it!
