7 years ago (2014), I was still a student in China. My friends and I had a ‘Holiday Exploration’ in a park near the town of WuZhen. There are four people in total, ZhongRen, WeiChen, Jack, and I. The Park was filled with trees and bushes. As we walk through the park, the route became more and more unclear, until we’re all lost. As the smartest person in the group, I have stood up and taken the role, ‘leader’. 30 minutes late, my friend WeiChen found the Liang Ting, which we stayed in the mourning.

‘Hey, I remember there, that’s the entrance of the park, let’s go!’ WeiChen shouted. Unfortunately, there was a creek between us and the Liang Ting. ZhongRen refuses to cross the creek because he is wearing his new shoes. it is for me, the leader, to decide what to do. WeiChen tried to persuade ZhongRen that the creek is so shallow that it will not damage his new shoes, but I believe that it is extremely wrong for WeiChen to push his idea onto ZhongRen. ‘You need to respect other people’s opinions!’ I warned WeiChen. At that moment, I stood up for the weak.
Three hours later, we are still lost in the forest. WeiChen found that Jack has a phone. He asked why Jack didn’t call anyone for help, but Jack said that he do not want to rely on the others to get out of the park. I thought that was a very good idea because it could help me to improve my leadership and groups collaboration skills. So I yelled at WeiChen and told him never to speak again.
Finally, on my lead, we have reached the Liang Ting after 4 hours of exploring. I gained a lot of leadership abilities through this experience. I learned how to manage a group of people, and how everyone’s opinion should be heard. I believe that every problem can be overcome with great teamwork.
