Well, I have experienced such situations several times throughout my life. However, one of the most meaningful experiences was approximately six months ago. In fact, at that time, I was quite overloaded with my full-time job. However, my friends suggested hiking to the mountainous area in order to reach a particular peak. To be honest, I was concerned about our trip as I had never attempted to hiking yet. During our trip to the mountainous area, I experienced several challenges such as injuries, falling downs. For instance, it was challenging for me to climb the mountainous area that offered rocky trails that were covered with stones. However, my friends were able to perform effectively as they were well trained in this case. During our hiking suddenly I lost my way. I was so discouraged and confused as I was frightened of wild animals and aquatic birds in this area. Then it crossed my mind to use a digital map in order to restore connection with my friends. However, this tool was inefficient, so I wasn’t able to find any guidance. After this activity, I attempted to shout loudly in order to capture my friend’s attention. As a result, we were able to reunite and stay focused on our trip. Consequently, we were able to reach this peak and congratulate each other on it. My performance gave me a sense of pride as I was able to engage in hiking based on my problem-solving skills. All in all, I was impressed by our trip as it gave me a sense of satisfaction and relief.
