Hiking Adventure: Exploring Nature's Wonders
What I’m into: I’m into the excitement of hiking and discovering new trails. It’s all about pushing myself enjoying amazing views from the top of mountains.
Throughout my time with the Duke of Edinburgh Award, I have learned that I can accomplish a lot more than I think I can, just by having the right mindset. Until last year, running was one of my least favorite activities, but I chose to challenge myself for my Silver level. Now, I can run 5km in 30 minutes, and I look back and wonder why I ever thought it would be impossible!
