The pandemic left me feeling very depressed and alone after losing what was left of my senior year. This all changed though when my family and I started hiking. Every day we would hike a new trail in the town in which I grew up in. On these trails is where I truly strengthened my relationship with my family members. We truly bonded with one another throughout our long hikes. These hikes made also gave me time to reflect on myself and where I was at that point in time. Throughout these hikes I was able to set some goals for myself on where I wanted to be in my future. It is definitely safe to say that I have achieved these goals as well up to this point. In all, I truly would not trade these long hikes for anything in the world. These hikes they really changed my outlook on life and it was here that I truly was able to strengthen my relationship with my family members.
