On Thursday, the group doing sea kayaking went to Charleston to do abseiling and rock climbing... I woke up with adrenaline and nervousness pumping through my veins. After the bell rang the polytech instructors came into the class to get us, they took us outside to introduce their selfs. we then embarked on our journey to Charleston. about an hour later we arrive. It was time to get the harnesses on, to be honest I hate getting things ike that on as it can be flimsy and hard to use. Once we got our harnesses some of us got given a bag of ropes to carry up the track, I was one of the chosen ones, five minutes up the track my shoulder and neck started to ache but I told myslef it was temporary pain. When we arrived at the lunch spot I looked at the cliff we will be abseiling down.
I think to myself am I going to beable to do that. We got instructions on how to use our equipment, we then walked down a muddy track into a slipprey cave my shoes got absolutly!!! coverd in mud. at the bottom of the cave there was some blowholes and luckily the tide was high. later that day some of us did climbimg or absiling I was do absiling after the practice abseil it was time to do the real thing. and trust me my heart was racing, when it was my go I clip into the saftey rope. I then clip into the abseil rope I slowly walk back to the edge.
I take a look down and say " I can,t do this but instructor convinced me to go over the edge. after 5 times of trying to do it I just could not do it. I uncliped from the rope and walked down the hill to grab some lunch, I then had go to the climbing. I managed to get a little bit up the rock face. I then had to do a small abseil down, the instructor that convince me to go over the edge. told me he would do it with me I went to the cliff and clipped in. I got to the edge but the same thing happend. This challenge pushed me out of my comfort zone a little bit to sum it all up yesterday was really fun.
Isaac, I am so proud of your achievements in Charleston. All the challenges this year are about testing your physical and emotional boundaries. You demonstrated real grit when deciding to attempt the abseil - I could see the determination in your face. Next time you are faced with a similar challenge, whether at school, home or out in the big wide world, you now have some perspective. For example, next time you stand up to deliver your argument in our class debate, say to yourself "this is nothing compared to hanging off a rope at the top of a sea cliff!" mrsinton-white.blogspot.com
