To the Scholarship Committee,
My name is Vanessa Rivera and I am writing you this leter
to thank you for letting me attend Outward Bound School
in North Carolina. I really enjoyed myself and had a wonderful
experience out there in the wilderness. When I first got
there I was afraid of heights, I could not climb up-hill,
I was afraid to speak in front of an audience and I thought
I was not going to make it to the end of the course. However,
I made it and did things I never thought I could. I am
thankful for overcoming my fears. Now I am proud of myself
as well as grateful that I had the opprounity to do something
challenging and unique. I learned to cherish life and
what it brings to me. I also learned that if there is
not enough for everyone, then there is not enough for
me. I think I have grown as a person. I have developed
a better attitude and I am much more mature. I also am
a spontaneous motivator and I will not forget the four
main pillars. I enjoyed it when I cooked and everyone
loved my food becuase I do not cook at home and now I
do. I also liked experiencing canoeing. I never canoed
and I loved it. Overall, I just loved Outward Bound and
was proud that I had faith in myself to complete the course.
Thank you so much, once again, for letting me attend this
school. I really am a stronger person and look at life
with a different perspective now. I am so excited to understand
life more and thanks to you.
Thank you,
Vanessa Rivera |
