Outward Bound, a course that challenges people, helped me get to know myself better. It helped me do tasks I never knew I could do. Kurt Hahn, the founder of Outward Bound, started these courses. In the wars, the older people on the ships would survive, but the younger ones did not know how to survive. Kurt Kahn wanted to teach younger people how to survive and help create a greater chance to survive. The four pillars at Outward Bound include craftsmanship, physical fitness, compassion, and self-reliance. People that use crafty and artistic skills use craftsmanship.

I showed leadership when I encourage everybody and told them that they could make it to the next campsite. Many of my classmates in my group pushed each other and helped one another get through the week. They helped make food, carry heavy water holders, filter water, set up the tarps, clean, and encourage one another. The strong boys in our group carried the heavy objects. The girls encouraged and helped everyone throughout the week. Lawson and Harry carried the mama seals everyday and they carried some of my gear when I twisted my ankle. Ruth and Clark made everyone
