This camping trip was an adventure of many firsts. We reached our finishing line with a deeper understanding of ourselves, and greater maturity in our own perspectives and behaviors. In our lifetime, there will be so many passing memories. Yet it is the milestones documenting our growth and development that will be treasured forever. We were born to be social beings in groups. We learn from, and give back to these groups we belong to. Looking back at the camping trip, the group and team spirit are no longer mere concepts, but priceless memories to be cherished. It can withstand any hardship, ups and downs, and only gets stronger and ecstatically beautiful. It is friendship and the embodiment of the compassion, integrity and kindness in the heart of every Keystone student. Our commitment to friendship, groups and team spirit will also be the guiding force when we are interacting with other members of society, the international community, Mother Nature and the universe.
