I have learned that you can overcome any obstacle, you just have to set your mind to it. If you really want to do something… focus on how much you want to do it, work hard, and you can overcome it. Don't put yourself down by saying, "oh, I can't, I can't", because you really can do it. You just have to put your mind to it.

I liked the whitewater rafting because you have to work together to make the raft move; and I like the rock climbing because you have to believe in yourself knowing you can get to the top.

If I can do this, I can do anything I put my mind to.

Life is full of challenges, and you have to overcome them someway or another. Now I feel more confident in my ability to overcome challenges because if I can do whitewater rafting and climb then I can do anything…ANYTHING!

The adults in Project Challenge treated me the way I was suppose to be treated-the way I should be treated. They trusted me, and they had confidence in me that I could do anything.

I'm lucky that I was able to experience Project Challenge. I hope other girls get to experience it so they can see what I'm talking about.
