As a scholar I got the opportunity to enroll in a program called presidents award, an international program that teaches the youth independence, confidence and so forth. It also looks good on a college application. This program has three levels; bronze, silver and gold. I will be finishing my bronze this year, to finnish you are required to do a sport, a skill, community service and go on a two day long hike.
The hike was an amazing experience, we climbed up a fire watching tower and looked out on the beautiful lands surrounding it.
We crossed small, wobbly bridges to get over streams.
Walk up steep slopes!
But the best thing I did on the journey was make new friends, when I got negative they would cheer me up and keep me going. Seeing that this is only my third story and in every story I've posted so far my friends play a big role in helping me through my life, you know they play a big role!
But in the end we all finished and man did it feel good!! At the finishing point we got a wonderful surprise by getting an ice cold coca-cola. I think all of us deserved that!

Wow: it sounds like the American answer to the Duke of Edinburgh Awards. I remember those Awards being talked up when I was your age: rumour had it that anyone who reached a Gold would have the award presented to him/her by the Duke himself.
