Pushing Us to the Limit

We all signed up for this class because we had an interest in learning about and coming to Australia, but we also signed up for the course because we knew it would be a blast. However, not many people realized, especially myself, that this course would teach us much more than about Australia. The camping trip in which we visited King’s Canyon, Uluru, and Kata Tjuta really taught everyone that they could do what they never thought they could. The first hike, up King’s Canyon, was a very challenging hike and some people may have thought they couldn’t do it; others may have thought that never in their life would they do something like this, however, we all made it to the top. Another way this trip pushed us was when we had to sleep in swags on the ground. Many of us were scared of bugs, snakes, and mice, especially on the first night. However, we all survived the night. Furthermore, many people were excited for the second night of sleeping on the ground and they slept way better. The other hikes were also a bit challenging, however again, everyone was able to finish all of them. This trip showed us that we can accomplish anything, sometimes we just need to be pushed.
