I was at a leadership camp few years ago. There were few tasks that we had to accomplish. Among those were: spider web bungee jump soldier crawl wall climbing trust fall I would never forget the trust fall. I was blindfolded when I got to the top of the platform. On the ground, there were members of my group pairing up face to face holding each others' arm tightly. They were ready to catch me when I fell. I had to fold my arms, took a deep breath and fell backwards. They caught me in one piece. It was a successful fall. But , my sister was nervous. She had to fall anyway. She let go her folded arms and fell awkwardly. She even accidentally scratched one of the members' face. For this special task, we learnt that: we need to trust the people whom we have entrusted to do something for us.
