We had to choose an experience that we enjoyed and remembered really well. I chose to write about learning to do a back flip on camp.

Writing Moments

Doing a back flip at Curious Cove
I got off the boat after a long day of fishing and exploring, Zachary and I went straight to the cabin. I got changed into some clean clothes and went down to the trampolines, I had been practicing back flips from yesterday.

Other people were already on so I waited for my turn, Once it was mine Zachary and Reid were encouraging me to land one.  I had been trying for a while but I hadn’t been able to yet but I had hope for today.


I got my bounce and leaned backwards, tucked my legs and hoped, I landed on my knees. Zachary and Reid came over and congratulated me saying I did a back flip, but I would not admit it until I landed it on my feet.


I went and had a drink, my mouth was dry and I was nervous, I splashed the cold water across my sweating face, I felt a sense of relief. I walked back down to the trampoline, Zachary was saving the trampoline for me so I could go back on immediately and try again. I got my bounce and leaned forward first, I rebounded off the side of the rectangular trampoline dug into the ground and leaned back. …

I… I Landed it! I was extremely happy and felt a massive weight lift off my shoulders, I landed a back flip! Zachary and Reid once again rushed at me, bombarding me with compliments.
