This program taught me to manage my time effectively. I learned self-motivation and hard work can help me reach my goals.
After completing the award, I have gained many friends and have memories to last a lifetime.
This award forced me to experience things and places I would not have experienced without it. I am so happy I put in the effort to achieve my Bronze award.
It was very exciting to choose the areas I wanted to improve and work hard to reach my goals. The DoE Award has made me a better student and person.
