It taught me teamwork and perseverance. What I learned about teamwork with others is that it requires much patience. It is hard to have to steer a canoe knowing that the partner in the front must paddle just as hard to keep the canoe moving. Therefore, I had to be patient and work with Amanda to make sure the canoe did not turn around or flip over. I also learned that I need to keep pushing through in life to have a good outcome. If I were to have given up half way through the trip, I would not have gotten home. There are times in life when we must keep pushing through to get things done, even though we may not want to. Overall, this trip taught me about myself and that I must work hard, but have fun at the same time. I must always possess a good attitude to get things done in the best honest way. Just like Santiago, and how he completed his journey to find the treasure, I pursued and obtained my treasure. Ultimately, I am so blessed to have made the decision to go on the trip because it was the beginning of a giant life lesson- those who persevere are "diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed" (Coelho
