Sky s the Limit! Alan Abar, senior The Scholar Program Re- treat was an experience l will never forget! Going in- to the retreat. l didnt know what to expect. All l knew was that I was going to participate in a Ropes Course . I felt scared, but excited at the same time. The most frightening ex- perience for me was climbing 30 feet high, standing on a tiny plat- form, and jumping for- ward to catch a tiny ring. lt was a tremendous feel- ing, and it made me real- ize that, with courage, you can accomplish anything. Amy Fischer, senior This year's senior scholar workshop was an expe- rience l will never forget. ln the woods on a sunny summer morning, we trooped up steep hills to reach our des- tination only described to us as the Ropes Course . Little did l know that l would be climbing trees and crossing wires as a tight rope walker. The phrase my name is Amy and I choose to do this constantly rang through my head as a reminder that no matter how hard we try. everyone has limitations. John Mangan, senior This year's scholar retreat was the best one yet. We spent it in the San- ta Cruz mountains. The major activity involved climbing Iso feet up into a tree, stepping out onto a platform and leaping for a ring. We really had to trust ourselves and our safety har- nesses. Then we had to help the entire group cross over a 12 foot wall. AI the end of our retreat, we all went to the beach for a prayer service. Senior Scholar Retreat 1 1
