It was my first time to jump from the 4 meters high rock. I felt scared, but I did. I didn't think I went down the river by this rafting, so it was satisfied committee very much.

That was my good experience rowing hard the boat together. When doing a goal,the feeling of achievement was felt. That experience was amazing that it can't be easily. I'd like to try it again by all means.
