Throughout this ISP, I have learned a lot of interesting new things about snow science and avalanche safety. We did a lot of activities that were both fun and educational. We went out with different ski patrol people who taught us the dangers of avalanches and also what you have to do to rescue someone safely from an avalanche. We also went out with Chris, a ski instructor who talked a lot about the requirements to become a certified ski instructor. We were also very lucky because we got to go check out Wagner Custom ski shop which was really cool and interesting. It was nice of all the people who talked about us for dedicating their time to us, I really learned a lot.
During these two weeks, we also built an igloo (or attempted to), wrote 10 blog entries, read The Climb, watched An Inconvenient Truth and completed two small group projects. I spent a lot of time on all of the things we had to do so I think that I deserve an A or at least a high B. I even answered the questions for The Climb, which after I had spent so much time on them and worked really hard, I found out we didn't actually have to do them. My group and I also spent a lot of time on our projects and worked really efficiently which helped us finish early and have enough time editing them.
The "City Year Skill" that I wanted to work on during this ISP was to be responsible and accountable. My group projects show that I have fulfilled this because they are very creative which does not make them easy, and I still managed to have enough time to make them as good as possible. I learned so many new things during these two weeks and I'm happy that I chose this ISP. As well as having a lot of fun times and exciting activities, I still learned a lot and it was very beneficial. I am thankful for all the numerous people who taught us all the interesting things that we learned during this time because if it weren't for them, I would not have gotten out so much from this fun experience.
