Each person is wearing a backpack and dressed in outdoor clothing. In the background, a scenic view of a lake and forested hills is visible under a cloudy sky.

The Expedition and my Residential stand out the most to me. They taught me a lot and really tested me, I developed a lot more resilience, but a big one was being able to motivate others as well as myself. I learnt how to work more as a team."
