It was the Thursday of EOTC week with room 9&7.We are at school. I was finishing up my morning tea when I heard my group were doing rock climbing next. I was afraid of heights, but suddenly that changed!!
There I was, staring at the humongous rockwall. My dad helped me put on my harness, I had a shiver down my spine. I climbed the first quarter of the rockwall & looked down at my dad, then I went higher. I saw myself getting higher & higher after every reach. This is just the beginning of the rockwall session!!
I finally got to the top of the rockwall when I suddenly had a strike of fear! I couldn’t reach for any more knobs on the rock wall. But my brain set a goal for me to get to the top & to hit the button. So I tried my best to get to the top & fortunately I did. I came zooming down with relief. I also heard my dad saying “Good job Gianni!”. I felt proud of myself! As soon as I got to the bottom, some other kids from the Keas group had a turn. Sherry told me that she wanted to have a race. I accepted the challenge! Sherry went on the easy wall & I went on the hard wall. When I was nearly to the top I looked down. I saw that Sherry was struggling, my dad told me to help her out; So I showed Sherry where to put her hands/feet. Once she was near the top I was going to finish the race, but I let Sherry push the buzzer. I pushed the buzzer after her & when I came racing down she shouted “I win!!”
It was lunchtime & I felt really proud of myself for helping Sherry during the rock climbing session. And that was a brilliant experience!!
