Blog about the Hike

I am going to give my honest opinion about the hike. I do not really understand the purpose of the hike, before or even after taking the hike. I'm not sure if I'd go as far as to say that it was a complete waste of time but I will be honest that I really did not enjoy the hike. I didn't think that going on a hike at 8:30 in the morning was a very good idea. It's not that I was tired, it was just that I don't really plan on starting my day off by going up and down 200+ steps (that's right I counted). Also with my legs being sore enough from basketball, I really didn't feel like I needed the exercise or even that I felt like going to the gorge. I'm not using basketball as an excuse but still nonetheless I did not enjoy the hike to the gorge.
Looking back on this i guess i kind of understand where you stand with going to the gorge. The textbook says, "Social relationships seem to be the overarching concern for those supporting the inclusion movement."(p. 59) In other words, i understand that many of us are not the social type of students nor are we likely to do physical activities such as hiking, but you are trying to make us into more social people to help us with our students.
