Today at the start of IDEARR we read the letters that we wrote to ourselves at the beginning of the term. Many things have changed since writing the letter as I no longer feel anxious about being around the other 44 students. I have learnt so many skills on leadership and I have made heaps of new friends. There is only 3 more weeks left of my time at the SRC and out of these weeks I'm hoping to learn more about myself and others and I'm also hoping to become better friends with everyone here. A goal that I have for these next weeks is: To push myself to become a more tolerant leader and team member.

This weekend was Visiting Weekend so yesterday at about 9:10 am, my family came and picked me up. We had a great time and some of the things we did were go on a small cruise on the lakes, go to the beach and go swimming. When I saw my family I felt very happy as I had missed them. The only challenge that I had this weekend was saying goodbye again, because I felt a bit sad. I didn't have any particular highlight as I had fun the whole weekend.
