‘I’ve found a new me’
One girl’s impression of her time at Outward Bound: "It’s blisters, cuts, scratches, bruises, depression, exhaustion, elation, annoyance, frustration, understanding, pain, tears, laughter, and trust. "I hated crawling into a wet sleeping bag. Tve left pieces of me on ropes, rocks, bushes, and kayaks "I think I’ve grown up. Not completely, but I’ve come a long way. Thank
goodness for solo. I had time to sit and think, about me, about others, about my future. "Over the last three and a bit weeks, I’ve gained something of vital importance — self respect. I realised I never really had any before I arrived. "I was terrified on that rock face, but I did it. I’ve come through the course safely, despite my fears, and I’ve found a new me."
