I really enjoyed participating in the Duke of Edinburgh Award. I remember learning how to do archery and volunteering at my church. D of E inspired me to try new things that I never would have attempted before and pushed me hard in order to achieve its goals.
One memory I have, although negative had a significantly positive effect. For example, on numerous occasions I was left out or struggled to make friends with the others. But this played a part in teaching me that love and kindness is the best way to receive respect from others, and how to build true friendships.
