The duke of Edinburgh award offered me a holistic growth experience that tested my endurance physically, emotionally and physically. The whole experience - from bronze has been extremely informative to me. It involved participating an a number of other creative activities such as the high school play and other art and poetry sessions. I also had to participate in volunteer work and sessions of camping and the like where i was submerged in nature. I learned about the importance of a balanced lifestyle where i am feeding and nurturing my physical, mental, and emotional self. This activity also forced me to reflect on how with you do affects who you are. I think it makes me think about how I can be proactive in changing myself. It is a wonderful and very rewarding sensation to feel accomplished and to receive the certificate as a physical emblem of my achievements. I also have noticed that having the different titles of “gold”, “bronze”, and “gold” was a good analogy for my emotion to being the best creature I can be. As my final words, i think I am not where I want to be yet; but this has been a great and important step forewords.
