It’s hard to believe where the time went. It is now a week after our unbelievable White Mountains adventure, and it is baffling how quickly time has flown by. I am sitting down reading some incredible journals from the semester that is near complete, and again I feel so blessed to be able to go through such a meaningful experience with some incredible students. As I go through each journal, I want to go back and redo each of those experiences. Not to change a thing, but to just be able to see things from the lens of how far we have come. The character shown on our trek through the White’s was unbelievable. We stood up to the strong reputation that we have in Enviro, in not only we are doing that is amazing, but how we are doing it as a group is even more so. From digging deep in the cold, wind and rain, to stepping up to support others when they needed it, and creating a realization of what can be accomplished when 28 people band together and get through what feels like an insurmountable task at the time. As I have said, people make the experience. Was it perfect? It never is. It is not supposed to be. Without hardship, we don’t learn. Without learning, we don’t grow. When we don’t grow, we don’t realize our potential. And it is my hope, that when a future challenge of whatever kind may seem too big to overcome, that we realize that what we put our mind, body and soul into it, it can be overcome. No matter what. I am so proud of each and every one of the 24 students in our Enviro 2016 family. It is an honour to be able to go through and share in this experience with you.
