Forest Way was our destination and sorry to say but the previous
years programs were boring compared to this year’s retreat. We were taken to
the forest and forced to bond with each other through out-door activities and
obstacle courses.
This was so eye-opening because through team work, I
realised how much I needed the support of my team mates. I wouldn’t have made
it to the other of the wall if I was alone but with the help of my team mates
all things were possible and the impossible was conquered. I think having our
lecturer Ms Batchelor go through each and every obstacle made it all worth it and we
all seemed to grow a positive attitude because if she can do this then who are
we to say we can’t? She has been the best role model for most of us and I really
bow down to her. She is the perfect example of a leader who leads by example
because she indeed leads from the front. Thank you Mam’.
The friendships made, priceless. The existing bond between
Lepho and I just grew at a rate that I myself cannot even understand. Being teased
because I can’t speak Xhosa and the best part is saying dissing phrases they
thought I didn’t know, surprise surprise. Khita, Nkuli, Lepho and Portia you
guys were the best roommates ever, so understanding and helpful in everything. We
even work up at 03:30am to shower whilst there was hot water. Oh boy, best
decision ever because people were already complaining at 06:00am that the water
is cold. We in a forest site duh not a hotel; of course hot water will be
finished, hahaha. Memories!
Thank you to the team at Forest way for hosting us, great
hospitality. Being there was a
Beautiful experience. Thank you.
