reflection:

The High Ropes Course was a well needed trip for room 6 and i'm glad that i saw teamwork going into keeping the individual safe on the giant's ladder and swing, plus the co-operation and determination in the leadership games that Nicole and Jackie set out for us. It was amazing to gain the leadership skills we lost last term in short amount of time and mingle with the people who we usually don't talk to.

activity:

My favourite activity was the giant swing where everyone had to help and pull the person who was in the ladder, go up as high as the clouds in the sky. It required a lot of trust for the people who had to pull and pull their weight. It also required a lot of courage for the person up in the sky to pull the rope so they can dangle and swing. It was my favourite because when you're up there swinging on the rope, you get to feel the wind rushing and the world beneath your feet, it reminds you how small you are compared to the world and the galaxy.

improve:

One thing we could improve on was our ability to give the everything our best shot.

Week 1 started off at the christchurch airport ready to go to Nationals in Auckland. After getting lost, the car engine failing and going around Auckland, we finally managed to arrive at a swanky hotel in Henderson with a view of the skyscrapers and boats of Central Auckland.

Tuesday to Wednesday was just the team training hard out ; sweat mixed in with hard work and talent. Thursday to Friday was me competing my routines and catching up with the old friends I left when I moved to Christchurch. Saturday to Sunday was watching all the other rhythmic gymnasts compete. It was heartbreaking to see how many amazing gymnasts were handed flowers after their last routine because time passed by and handed them adulthood. Sunday was also the time for the gala, dancing the night away with hula and pineapple costumes.

Monday was the time to go back to reality to my boring house that has no one in it and only devices to fill the endless amount of boredom. I did nothing productive nor writing-worthy; just laying in bed on social media shipping people, discovering new music and supporting LGBTQ rights #love wins <3 .
