Balance Island

Intense Balancing Island

I was shivering while I walked along the thick wooden log. I was feeling anxious about falling into the freezing cold lake as if we were above the Atlantic Ocean with sticks barely poking out of the water below. While walking across the log I felt as if I going to fall but I had courage to get past. When I took the last step on the log I made it to the island where Mrs Kopua was waiting. I felt relieved for a second, but next it was the long unbalanced wobbly bridge!

When walking across the rickety bridge I took a big step one by one slowly but surely and soon enough I had reached the other side. Feeling more nervous than before, I looked up ahead and saw two, long, slim, parallel ropes and one of my friends who had just finished walking across the rope.

“It’s your turn,” said Mrs Kopua.

I took one step and thought to myself “you can do it, you can do it.”

In no time I was on the other end of the ropes feeling relaxed after that intense course.
