My DOFE experience will always remain a significant memory for me. Before participating, I was not the most confident or sociable person, and was always quite anxious to try new things or to come out of my confort zone. However, through volunteering at my local charity shop where I consantly met new people, attending ballet club despite having no prior knowledge or ability in dancing and going on the expedition with people I never really knew well, I really feel I have become a more strong and determined person. Dofe has been a life changing experience which I will always be grateful for.
