Darion's Love For Animals

Would you ever jump out of a plane? Have you ever wanted to be a SAR tech. Have you ever been in danger and need a rescue?

Can you please answer these question and I will answer them as well.

1. Jumping out of a plane sounds like a  lot of fun and I would jump out of a plane if I wasn’t going to die (yeah I know I am not going to die if I jump out of a plane. I’m kind of paranoid)
2. Have I ever wanted to be a S.A.R. tech yes and no I would love to save someone and when  I was young I wanted to every thing a SAR tech being one of the jobs on a very long list.
3. Have I ever need a rescue no and yes I was not in danger just lost in a camp ground and my friend had to come find me.

What are your answers?

The wind whips my hair around my face as the water try to give me salt water kisses. My feat were frozen from having to stand in the cold waters of the Marina in the Comox Valley as we put up the sail and  took the rudder pins.

But before I start telling you about the ships we sailed on, I should tell you what I’m talking about. My whole class has 8 fabulous sailing sessions with Compass Adventures.

If you have seen my other post Ten Things That Terrify Me you would know that water really scares me and when we were sailing I had to put my fear behind me which isn’t easy when you are as scared as I am.

The ships we sailed on were called Hobie Cats, they were also a type of catamarans.

We sailed on boats just like this.

Have you ever sailed on any type of boat?

“Me. Terrified. As if. Okay, I guess it happens, a lot.”

The top ten things that terrify me are…

(Not in order)

1. Water (ocean, lakes, rivers, not drinking water or pool water).
2. Getting burned (bad like second or third degree burn).
3. Getting in fights with friends.
4. Getting bitten by a shark (or any aquatic animal).
5. Snapping my spinal cord.
6. Breaking any bone in my body.
7. Getting locked up in a jail cell for my lifetime (Don’t worry I am not a criminal, I have only ever gone in a jail cell because I was on tour of an air port).
8. The thought of moving far, far away.
9. Robber’s/Theifs.
10. The thought that all of these might come true.

That was hard for me to admit, so it would be so nice if you could write back the top 5 things that terrify you.

Hey, have you ever heard of Girl Guides? Well, Girl Guides is a organization for all girls to join. It is a total success too! There are over eight thousand Girl Guides in British Columbia! Isn’t that a lot?

Right now in Girl Guides I am a third year –it is my last year of guides, then it is on to Pathfinders. Pathfinders are the next level up from guides. Yeah!– and third years get a special honor of getting a pin called the Lady Baden Powell Pin. To earn this pin you must complete the Lady Baden Powell Challenge and one of the activities is to share my guiding experiences with people who are not in guides. So if you are reading this then you are totally awesome. Thanks.

Guides go from grade four to grade six. And I am in grade six.

I am a very lucky to have my mom as my guider (she is the one who organizes every thing. Go mom!) she works with two other guiders who are called Joanne and Shelly. I love my guiders.

Some of my favorite guiding moments are from Horn Lake Cave Camp, it was so much fun. I also love selling cookies, they are so good, mint in the fall and vanilla and chocolate in the spring. I love working on badges (they are hard to earn and I have over 30 badges). And I also love just being involved in the fun activities my leaders plan!

You should try to find a Girl Guide Unit (or Pathfinders or Rangers or if you are past grade 6 or if you are younger there are groups called Sparks and Brownies. You could even start a unit of any group).

If you like the sound of guides check out Girl Guides Can Blog.
