Class
Hike
On
January 27th, 2012 the first day I hike. It was the end of the first
semester. As a new student, it was really lucky that I didn’t have to take any test, I just went right upon the mountain without any
worries about finals. We went to one of the mountains in Rose Valley Rose Valley
It
took a really long time to get on the mountaintop. I was pain! I couldn’t even breathe. I can walk 10 miles without resting, or
without eating. I couldn’t accept that we had to finish 2 big bottles of water. These two empty water bottles were the tickets for the bus. Our teachers
forced us to drink this water, but I know they did it for our health. A weird thing is that when we’re walking, we felt really hot, but when we got to the mountaintop, it was freezing
cold. Even though on the mountaintop was really cold, I still liked the cool air hitting my face.
Something good and beautiful had shown on
that special day. When we get to the mountaintop, we looked down and we saw small
villages, green trees, and beautiful birds flying above us. Our lunch is peanut butter and jelly sandwich,
sounds normal, but if you hike for 6 miles, any food in front of you is the
best! After I
finished lunch, I felt 10 times more powerful than before. The best thing was NO SCHOOL! I didn’t have to do homework, didn’t have to
do any test, no
pressure! I’d rather see nature and walk 12 miles, instead of looking at books or study for tests, anyday.
After
the 10 mile
hike, we went back to school proudly yet exhausted. When we got back, our teachers gave us freezing
sodas. We felt all cool, lay in our beds, and hoped we could stay in bed forever. Few days later my legs and hips got really sore. I could only walk like an old woman. These feelings of happiness
were gone.
This
class hike was really a big challenge for me. I learned a lot and know about nature. I also know how to survive when you’re lost in the mountains or forests. I will never
forget the day I went to Rose
Valley
