Rock Climbing and Abseiling

This is definitely a year 8 Challange I will never forget. I am looking over the edge, feeling as though I will fall any second, I have never had any faith or trust in these ropes!!! Until now. While I am sitting on the edge of a cliff telling the instructor " I don't want to do It anymore". But Inside my mind, I really want to face my fear and have the courage that it takes to Abseil down the face of a cliff. I went down to the Rock Climbing beside the crashing waves, pounding onto the jagged rocks. Then I see my BFF Kate going so fast down the Abseil Rock and I don't know how she can go that fast. As I am Climbing I feel a rush of relief wash through me. I did not think I would make It all the way to the TOP!! Then came a thing I never thought I would do. Abseil down the Climbing Rock!! Wow, that was Amazing and so fun. I think " so now that I have Abseiled down the Climbing Rock, I start to feel like I should have another go at the Abseiling"! I am once more looking over the edge of the rock again, but this time there is no " I don't want to do It anymore" It is more like " this is actually not so bad" and when I reached the ground again I was so proud of myself for overcoming my fears. That was an absolutely amazing experience, I definitely want to do it again!!

  1. Grace, your achievements were awe-inspiring. Boy, you have come so far since you first started in my class in 2015. Your ability to compose yourself - against all odds - is an incredible development. You are beginning to find strategies to take better control of your mind/nervousness under great stress. I really do think this year's challenges are going to have a positive lifelong effect on you. Keep it up! mrsinton-white.blogspot.com
