This past summer I traveled with a People2People program to Europe for three weeks, one of which was spent in Italy. While we were in Italy, we participated in a workshop about trust and confidence. After many group activities, there was a challenge that tested our new skills. Next thing I knew, I was standing on the roof of a 100ft. castle watchtower, which I was supposed to repel down. I was in the second to last group to go, and just watching the others fall off the tower onto nothing frightened me. Some people couldn’t do it and had to take the six or so flights of stairs down. When it was my turn, I promised myself I would do this and just held onto the rope as tight as possible. Soon as I was off the ledge, I realized that it was really fun.  Through this, I went out of my comfort zone enough to create a positive experience.  That was a moment I will never forget.
