I've always been an anxious person, breaking boundaries has always been a tough challenge for me. When the D of E program was presented at school I wanted to join in I wanted to try push my usual boundaries of course it was hard at first but I have since created incredible memories I wouldn't change for the world as well as increase my confidence and belief in my own abilities and what I can achieve.

After completing the bronze I went on to complete the silver and am still working towards my gold. This award helped me realise my full potential and what I can achieve and helped me become less anxious in new situations.

I am forever grateful for this awards existence as without it I feel as though I wouldn't have achieved the personal achievements I have today.
