My name is Andrew P. and yesterday I was student leader with Mary S. It was an interesting responsibility; I had to keep the whole community under control. It is not as easy as it sounds, I kind of feel sorry for all of the teachers here now.

Student leader was a fun experience but it wasn’t the highlight of my time at Snowy River Campus, my highlight was expo. Expo to most people is the biggest pain in the neck. I guess I’m not like most people. Expo in my eyes was a time for me to really step up and do absolutely everything that I could do to help my team. I grew a lot on expo, I didn’t think that I would actually be able to hike 14k in the space of 48 hours. I never thought that I would be able to spend a night in a tent and I never thought that I would ever be able to take on as much responsibility as I took on expo.

The new people, the new friends, the new atmosphere is something that I will never forget. I never want to leave this place and at the moment I’m trying not to think about the end of the journey but in the back of my head I know it is creeping up on me and I can safely say for sure that the last day of this term will be the saddest day of my life so far.
