I always loved the outdoors and wanted to find out who I was and what I wanted to do with my life. At Outward Bound I was surrounded by people who were following their own path. This convinced me to do the same and now I am attempting to be a professional snowboarder. The internship has changed me, given me the courage to follow my dream and provided me with a skill I can use to help me get there.
