My experience so far in ARC has been awesome. ARC has taught me to appreciate the people I have around and to trust in them. The significant moment that impacted me most, was when I participated in the ropes course activity at Calvin Crest. At the beginning of the course, I felt unsure of doing it because I was afraid I would fall and injure myself . But throughout the day, I gained confidence, bravery and most importantly enjoyed the rope climbing activity. During our debrief, we learned that the purpose of the ropes course was to teach us about our commitments to everything we have in life. My main goal in life is to succeed in my academia and pursue higher education by going to college no matter how hard the obstacles will be.The ropes course challenge marked determination in my heart and encouraged me to always have something to fight for.
