Wow what a great time I had at the ropes course for young womens activism/ Inner beauty retreat! Eka It was awsome! It was soo exciting...the first day was pretty fun but some things were draged out sooo long...then the second day we did the high ropes course...that was sooooo exciting! I could not believe all I did! There was this one thing called the "Pamper Pole" It is this small plat form sticking out the side of a tree about 25 to 30ft in the air and if thats not scaey enough climbing up that its the fact that you need to jump off of the plat form and hit a ball that is about 8ft infrom of you about the height of your head...I was terrified...every time i felt like I could jump I would think "OMG I can't do it" or I would think about how igh up I was...I felt like I couldn't do It I was soooo scared...then after about what seemed like an hour (really about 20-25mins) everyone was standing there waiting for me to do it and I kept saying I can't do it I can't...I was ready to give up on my goal...then something the guide said to me finally sunk in "Only you can do this for yourself.....no one can make you do it..." I though god I will feel so bad if I don't do this..so...I said I can do it and then I stood ther for a min an concentrated and took a deep breath and I jumped It was such an amazing feeling...almost like I was free! Then I broke down in tears.. I could not figue our why in the heck I was cryin! I had just acomplished one of my goals...To finish what I start!I still feel just as good now and like the guide told me when he pulled me off to the side after...."Remember alwyas that you accomplished this you can accomplish everything! you beat your fear so now you can do anything! God did that make me feel great....
I noticed that my life is taking a complete about-face as it was heading last year...UTEC has changed my life in more ways then they will ever know....and I will forever be greatful to all the many people there who have helped me change my life...
