An Unforgettable Experience 五年2班 林小艾

   “Climb higher, climb higher!” The teacher of my team said to me. I was a bit tired but I continued to climb. At last, I climbed to the top of the tree which is 20 meters tall.

   Two years ago, when I was 9 years old, I went to a camp with my brother. It is a tree-climbing camp. When I arrived there, I saw a tree standing there. Beside it, there were many other trees. Many leaves fell down on the ground and turned brown. That was in an evening. The moon was big and bright, so the tree looked like a ghost wearing white clothes. It's a bit scary, so I felt a bit frightened.

   The next day, we were going to climb the tree. The tree is so tall and scary. However, the teacher said: “You should be brave. Everyone should try climb higher to get to the top. There is a big cat on the top. Look! If you go to the top, you can take a photo with it.”

   At first I was a big frightened. But I climbed quicker and quicker just like a monkey. I used hands to catch the cords and then made myself go higher. My legs just stand on the cords, but I was so excited. However, I become exhausted when I nearly came to the top. I stopped for a while, thinking coming up or down. Finally, I decide to overcome “the monster” and came up. I kept on doing that-- catching the cords and kept climbing. At last, I came to the top. I had a feeling of accomplishment.

   I stopped on the top of the tree, thinking I was flying. Yes! I am successful.  

    This experience told me something important: we can do anything if we overcome the difficulties. I will become braver in the future!
