The adventure camp was really fun and I have enjoyed myself there. Although this is not my first time going for an adventure camp, I was really scared and unsure about going for it as I did not know anyone and I wanted to leave when I met everyone at the mrt station as I did not recognize a single person. I think the biggest challenge for me during this camp is that I had to be alone without the people I am comfortable with and being able to open up to people I do not know. I felt really uncomfortable for the first day and had many thoughts of leaving the camp, but I felt better because everyone in the group tried to talk to me and tried to get to know me.

That very night, I had gastric pains and because of this incident, I felt very cared for and I started to feel more comfortable around. I think this incident had teached me how to trust others more, also not be so stubborn.

The second day, the high ropes. I did not have any fears for height but I was really scared that my injuries will not be able to take everything in one go. And I did not want to do rock-climbing at first cause the very first time I did it, which was during my P5 camp, I was not able to reach the top and I ended up injuring myself, so I was really worried when it came to that station. As usual, I got myself stuck up there for a while, and when I was going to give up, I heard people calling my name, telling me where to step and all, I was encouraged and I told myself that I should not give up here and just go down. I should at least give a try and give my best. However, I still was not able to reach the top, but I know at least I have given my best.

The challenge pole was the next challenge I had. As I got stuck up there alone for quite a while before, I did not want to go up at first but I had to accompany Jialing so I went up. This time, it was much different as the previous time cause there was someone next to me. Due to some comical moments, I ended up there alone again. At first I thought I was going to stay up there alone for quite a while, but as I looked down, I saw the belayer, and I started to tell myself that I should trust the belayer and have courage to take that step out, and I did. It was not successful, but through this challenge, I realize that even though I am scared but I should find the courage to take the step out to talk to everyone and not wait for them to talk to me.

The BBQ was really nice and I also had more courage to talk to everyone. I started to open up more and was able to sit down and crap with anyone and I felt much more comfortable with everyone.

The very last night, as I was listening to the testimony shared, I started to think of what have been happening during that period of time. And when Pastor Evelyn came and say that she was going to pray for me, everything started to flash through my mind again. As she placed her hand on me, I just started to cry. Then after everyone left for supper, Pastor Evelyn talked to me and she asked me this, “what was stopping me from taking that step out?' I started to think about what she say and I realize that this was not the first time, something similar have happened to me before and each time, I just did not have the courage to take that step out. Until now, I just cannot find the courage to take that very step out, finding all kinds of reasons to just say no.

Overall, I think the camp was really great and I had lots of fun:D I’ve learnt a lot of things that I would not be able to learn if I did not have gone for the camp. And I’m really great to get to know everyone. I didn’t regret going for the camp, although my friend was not able to make it. Thanks:D
