Exercise 7
Step 1

My friends and I had planned to camp-out and see the stars on a mountain. I told my parents about it ahead of time, did my checklist of useful supplies, and brought with me protective outdoor clothes. We hired someone to lead us up the mountain and followed the well-marked trails.
When we finally reached our campsite, we put up a tent, started the campfire and stargazed. It was a first for me and it was worth the experience.
