The DofE has really helped shape me into the young lady I am today. It has taught me not only physical skills such as map reading and survival skills it has also taught me life skills such as togetherness and teamsmanship. Before deciding to do my DofE bronze award I was a shy, quiet, and to be honest quite lonely girl who didn’t really have any idea of the world or what I was doing. On the other side after gaining my award I have become chatty, I made friends and remain friends with my group and I now have more confidence than ever before. The DofE really helps to show you that nothing can stand in your way and although you may get lost along the way, all roads lead to the same path:)
