Achieving my Bronze Award has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. I have been able to make meaningful connections through my volunteering, understand the value of keeping healthy through my physical activity and develop new and useful expertise in my chosen skill. In addition, my expedition was an opportunity to explore my independence and build on how to effectively work as a team. In short, my time completing my Duke of Edinburgh Award has been enlightening and an experience I will treasure for years to come.
