ADVENTURE TRAINING CAMP 2017

 During ATC , I had to  go through the  Water  Confidence Jump at Pulau Ubin. Even though the  wooden plank was only a few feets high up , I was  scared  to jump into the water. My fear heightened after my group’s  CI said that there were jellyfishes in the water and also that one cadet got stung by the jellyfish before. All my other cadets were very excited to  participate, while I was  very scared and was thinking about all the negative possibilities that could happen. The coach told me shout out my name and school , after doing so I calmed myself down by chanting ‘I can do it’ .After I jumped into the water i felt like drowning , luckily there was a lifeguard to guide my way to the ladder that connects to the land. After the activity I realised that I did not have to be paranoid about  the jellyfishes. My favourite part was when I climbed up the stairs. I learnt that in my life , there will be one person to guide my way through, like the lifeguard. I also learnt that the problems  that are faced are just like the jellyfishes, they exist but would not harm me if I am confident.
