Treetops was a fantastic experience. It helped us push through and gather new skills to help us as leaders of the school. The majority of us were super excited others a little nervous but still ended up being a wonderful experience for us all. At the start of my time on the first course I was excited, but after looking at the height of the obstacles my nerves began kicking in. When I was up in the treetops it was very nerve racking but luckily my friends were there to keep my confidence up and help me persevere through all the obstacles and even try some harder and higher obstacles. In the time that we had there some of thing that help me throughout treetops was positive self talk, help from my friends and zip lining which boosted my confidence.

At my time at Treetops I faced many challenges but this is the story how l pushed through. As we all got off the bus l could feel my face light up with joy. As soon as we lined up for all the obstacles I felt a pit in my gut. I was the first one in line and I wanted to convince my friends that if l could do it that they could do it, so I went on, my legs shaking as I stepped forward. The obstacle wobbled but I kept going. It got the easier the further I went in but my heart skipped a beat as I slipped. As fast as I could I grabbed the rope. As I went on I felt better until I saw the tightrope. I got on it, my legs shaking, but I had confidence and so I got to the other side. Then I went on a zip line. I love zip lines and when l say I love them I mean I really love them. After I finished I went up a level. This one was hard and I fell but I got up then fell again. This time I was too stuck to get back up so I got lowered down. Then I went on an easy one but I fell and I felt like I couldn’t get back up but my friends and my teacher helped me up so I helped my friends get through a really tough obstacle. At the end of the day it didn’t matter if we fell it only mattered if we got back up and had fun.

The tree tops experience for me was 3 words  - fun, amazing and definitely terrifying.

The funniest thing I looked on is actually the scariest thing I did. I look back and think what I could have done to make it less scary but while it was terrifying it was very funny. My friend and I had tears in our eyes! That's when I noticed that crying made it feel different almost like a weight had lifted off my shoulders. Showing emotion is not weakness it’s actually a strength because being able to show emotion is strong and it means you don’t care what others think. So that’s why my treetop was not just fun and scary but brought out leadership, working together and most importantly just to have fun!
