What I Learned
The list of things that I learned from my semester with NOLS is endless. First and foremost, NOLS teaches leadership and hard outdoor skills. Throughout the course, their curriculum also emphasized expedition behavior, communication, environmental ethics, cultural awareness, and the Leave No Trace principles. Having almost zero leadership skills prior to this course, I personally gained an incredible knowledge and practical experience of leadership and vastly improved my self-confidence. Lastly, I realized that the exact career that I've been searching for is with NOLS. The more that I learned about the school, the more I loved the school and everything that they teach.
