In march my teacher took my friends and me to a retreat in the mountains.

Spending time in the

moments we were told that this retreat was going to be fun and filled with advice and words that

would help us change our perspective in life and our relationship with jesus. We were meant to

learn about so much during this restart and I did. I discovered and learned about myself, my

friend and my connection with God. I enjoyed my stay in the forest because not only did we

learn about God but this restart was fun, hard, quiet, loud, comforting, sad, change, tears and

laughter. The way I was in the beginning of the retreat then I was at the end was a bit different

then I first began. .

There was so much I learned from this retetart, although something I really loved to learn was

archery. I learned how to shoot an arrow just like Katniss Everdeen in hunger games, which I

shook for the first time. I was actually pretty good at it. HOwever I gained trust and more

confidence with some of my friends away I thought didn't even know it was possible. The 2nd

night at the camp it was hard for some. Our teacher , Mr BLair sat down with us and talked

(which I call a trial) to forgive one another or ask for forgiveness to others. I think he did this

knowing that we will be heading to high school to get things off our chest before ending school. .

I think this part of the great was the hardest thing I and others all had to do.

In the end this retreat made me think and realize what I can do better and how I connect a bit

differently with others and God. This retreat was the best camp I’ve ever been to. Furthermore,

there were some parts of the retreat that made me think and will always be with me as I grow

older on how I can be better and how I can teach other similar things I learned at this retreat.

HOw to love each other and themselves. Similar things that made a bit of a change in me or my

course of God's relationship as well.

Reflecting to God and with others, looking out into the beauty of the mountains and appreciating

that God made them and us. I relate my camp/retreat to faith. Faith, complete trust and

confidence . I was away for 3 days from my family and I put faith in God to bless me and others.

I had faith during and after the restart to be safe and faith about being and trusting each other at

the retreat.
