PGL is a residential camp part of a programme called the NCS (National Citizen Service) and I am going away for roughly a week tomorrow to take part in adventure activities and make friends and live with strangers and do all sorts of stuff (I'll explain what NCS is for anyone who wants to know in my next post once I'm back).
For me, taking part in this programme isn't just the fun I get to have with friends while doing it (two of my best-friends are taking part with me) but it's one step closer to my independent life. It means a lot to me. A lot more than what it is for many. For a lot of people, NCS is just another point for a paragraph they can babble on about in their UCAS application, but if you delve deeper into the true meaning of doing this project, there are so many valuable lessons to learn and it's so sad that so many people miss out on what NCS actually is all about and I won't let that happen to me.
This week will mark a break for me. A break from the hassle. I'm not going to relax. I'm not going to lounge about in a bikini on a beach. I'm going to test myself to my utmost limits and destroy any fear that decides to bubble inside me. I will be spontaneous and I will come back energised and ready to tackle my dreams and goals with determination and drive. I will, I will, I will.
