When I see someone from my class, I feel a sense of familiarity and confidence in who I am as a person. We love to work together, whether it be in the classroom or in the library during study hours. The memories I have and the friendships that I've made will remain close to my heart. It was a great experience because it's good to know how to deal with unexpected events. After pulling the canoe to safety with the wind working against me and climbing the steep and slippery river bank, I am confident that I can do anything.
