Jack's Surfing Experience Print

Hello my name is Jack, and today I was student leader along with Billie.

So far I am having a fantastic time at the SRC for student leadership; I have met forty four interesting and fantastic new kids, and 17 awesome staff.

My highlight so far of my time here at SRC was the day that we went surfing! I had never been surfing until then and am disappointed in myself for not having done so. I was falling off left, right and centre, but after every stack I would get that little bit better; and in the end I rode a wave all the way to shore 3 times, not to blow my own trumpet or anything but that is a pretty decent effort for a newbie. Sadly after a few hours, we had to head back to campus for lunch.

I have been building up on my fitness while I have been here and that is coming along well, I am also feeling more confident as an individual and am not as nervous as I used to be when it came to speaking to new people, or in front of a large group of people. It is strange sometimes when I think that I have only known these people around me for just over two weeks but still I feel incredibly close to all of them, closer in fact than some of the people that I have known for a number of months. I guess this is because I am sleeping, eating and learning under the same roof as them, and this is speeding up the process in which I am getting to know them all.

I love it here and am already able to tell how hard it is going to be to leave this place.
