Dear Scholarship Committee,
My name is Lisa Almero and I have just completed an Outward
Bound course this past summer. I want to thank you for
giving me the opportunity to try something different.
I have learned so much with the two short weeks I was
there. I grew physically and mentally while in Outward
Bound. My character has grown so much. I do not take anything
I have for granted anymore. Ever since Outward Bound,
I have been appreciating everything and everyone around
me. One of the most important lessons I have learned was
trust. Before I went there, I had a hard time trusting
people around me. I realized while we were on the rock
climbing course that I would not have had a successful
climb unless I was able to trust my belayer. At first
it was hard but in time, I was able to let my guard down.
I keep that lesson with me today. I know that not everyone
is untrustworthy and not everyone out there is trying
to hurt me. The course has also taught me to have more
confidence in myself. I realized that I can do most of
the diffiuclt chores thown at me. I learned that in order
to get anything done, you have to have the right mind
set. That is something the instructor told me when I wanted
to give up. The course was extemely hard for me. I was
not used to the environment that I was put in, but I know
because of that experience I came back a better person.
I think you for that because without the scholarship you
gave me, I would have not been able to go.
Sincerely,
Lisa Almero
