“I was never able to talk in front of large groups of people until I went to Outdoor School. ”
I am someone who suffers from sever anxiety and I don't really like to be the leader at all. When I went out to [Camp] Tamarack for the first time I was super nervous because I was afraid that my anxiety would take over and I wouldn't be able to actually be a student leader because of it. Well, when it came to my time to actually step up to be the leader, I had a lot of anxiety but I still managed to get up in front of lots of people and talk and even sing. At school I'm normally very quiet and only talk to my friends or teachers. I was never able to talk in front of large groups of people until I went to Outdoor School. Coming out to Tamarack helped me so much with my anxiety. When I went back to school after Tamarack, I had to talk in front of the class for a project and I wasn't as nervous as I would have been.
