I Just Want To Say...

This has been really fun but I AM SO GLAD TO BE DONE!!! I just want everyone to know that its been a fun last two years and I am going to miss you all! Hopefully we will keep in touch and GOOD LUCK to everyone in the future!

Almost There!!!

This was an amazing experience and I am very happy that we all were given this amazing opportunity. Not too many people can say that they have been rock climbing, hiking, and mountain biking all in a matter of two weeks! All I can say is that this is something that I am never going to forget and I am so thankful that we were given this wonderful opportunity!

The Real Deal

Let's just say that I had a completely different picture in my head of what types of rock we were going to be climbing! When we first pulled into the parking lot all I could think is, oh man this is going to be a challenge! The rocks that we were going to climbing were huge and very steep!

All I have to say is that I am so glad that I was able to go on this trip, I had so much fun! There were times where I did want to give up, but I pushed myself to accomplish climbing vertigo, and I did it! Even though it took me longer than others I did it!

This experience was amazing and rock climbing is something that I would love to start doing!

Rock Wall Climbing at EHS

I was really excited to learn how to climb! It is something that I have never done before and it was something that I have always wanted to try. I will say that i was a little bit nervous though. I really enjoyed how we had an experienced rock climber come in and teach us the proper form and terms of rock climbing.

I feel that this is something that I would like to continue doing. It is a great workout and I really enjoyed doing it!

Honors Camp!

Going to Wenatchee for the weekend was super fun! It is absolutely beautiful where we were at and it was fun to spend the weekend with my fellow peers. I was a little nervous about doing the workshops with the students because I didn't know if they were going to like what we were going to be teaching them. They loved it! I was so glad that they did because it made it so much more fun! We picked the perfect spot to have our session and I think that is why they liked it so much. We were down by the water, and that was good because it was really hot their that weekend!

I was in a group with Katie and Chelsea and for our lesson and we were presenting was making stick vases, homade icecream, did a fear factor game with them. Some of them either really liked making the stick vases and some of them didn't really care for doing them. But they seemed to really enjoy making the icecream and participating in the fear factor game.

I am really glad that we got the opportunity to go present at a camp for 8th graders, it is always nice to get experience working with students and it makes me really excited to start working with them. It was also fun hanging out with all of the people in the PE group.

Hiking

One thing that I wish that I did more of is hiking. When I went to Arizona this year my sister and I went up to the hills and went hiking, and all I can say is it was SO beautiful! Ever since than I have wanted to go hiking more and more because you see nature and it is fun and a good workout at the same time.

This hike was a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be. First of all I was not feeling good at all that day and it was very hot outside. I will admit that I was struggling a little bit, all I have to say is that I am glad that I wore comfortable clothes and layers. Because once we got to the top it was really cold! But it was so beautiful!! I could sit up there for hours and just watch the sunset and just listen to the peacefulness.

This is something that I am going to continue to do because I feel that it will keep me in shape and it is something that I really enjoy doing!

Mountain Biking :)

Mountain biking was a ton of fun! I was really worried about it at first because I haven't been on my bike that much this year and I didn't know if I was going to be able to complete the ride. The first part of the ride was SOOO HARD!!! It was a steep hill and a lot of us had to get off of our bikes and walk up. That's when I was thinking, oh man this is going to be hard and I am not going to like this at all!!

Once we got pasted that first part the rest of the ride was so fun and it felt so good to be outside in the woods and look at the beautiful view at the top. I was extremely proud of myself that I did not get off my bike for the rest of the ride. This is something that I really enjoyed and it is something that I want to continue to do. It was a really good workout and I really loved just being outside because it was such a beautiful day!

One thing that I would have like to do is have the whole class to both of the rides. I would have liked to try the hardcore ride because I feel that I could have done it and I think that it would have been fun. I hope that when I become a teacher that I will be able to take my students out mountain biking, because this is an activity that you can do as you get older and its a great workout!
