July 8

- Arrived at Heritage campus around 10:00 am 

- Helped with cleaning dishes 

- Registered for classes

 

Location: Mitchell, Oregon

 

I have never been camping before so this is an entirely new experience for me. During our drive here we saw a cliffside that had beautiful shades of green throughout it. I learned how to set up a tent today… with some extra help of course. I had a good day talking to new people and sharing stories with them. Looking forward to our hike tomorrow at Strawberry Lake, which is a 7-mile hike round-trip and I am planning on doing the whole trail if I can.

After arriving back on campus, we unloaded and put away whatever was loaned from the University. I came across Dr. Miller in his office and we had a great conversation. Being back on campus, there was a strange nostalgic feeling of being at home and I cannot wait to come back once classes begin. Seeing almost everyone be picked up by their family members or spouses and the smiles that came across their faces the moment they saw them was heartwarming. I needed to step out of my comfort zone and this adventure really gave me the right push in the right direction to continue doing just that.
