Tiffany ZHANG:“We have seven members in our team, Therron, Elizabeth, Daisy, Lingling, Chloe, Kingsley and me. The first day was tough—the rain made the trails dangerously slippery, and the steep slopes became even harder to navigate. But in the end, we all made it safely to our campsite. Another challenge was navigation. With so many unmarked paths in the mountains, we got lost multiple times. There were moments of frustration and disagreements, but we recognized them and worked together to stay positive.”
Mario XUE:“We have five members in our team,Angel,Bob,Cythina,Shirley and me. Rationing food was another challenge. Since I didn’t pack a lot, I had to be really careful about my portions. And like Tiffany mentioned, we sometimes struggled with directions, but we found a way—by asking local villagers for guidance.”
