“I climbed the mountain and walked through the forest, and I liked the sounds of the wind blowing. In particular, the sounds of the leaves striking and the sunlight shining between the green forest felt so fresh and beautiful ... My worries disappeared and I felt refreshed. The feeling was so good.” |
Cognitive |
“When I climbed the mountain, my thoughts were cleared up and my head felt lighter... I gradually got positive thoughts ... In the mountains I could talk with myself alone ... I thought I should change myself rather than waiting for someone to change me ... As those thoughts filled my mind, I wanted to study ... It’s still a difficult family environment, but I thought that I should change. I wanted to get results through hard work ...” |
Behavior |
“The good feelings and positive energy I felt as I climbed the mountain changed me ... And time went by and I took a second SAT.... I passed one of the colleges I wanted. It was so lonely and hard days, but I did not give up and overcome it. At the end of the challenge I started to get out of the dark tunnel, I achieved what I wanted to do. My personality has become much more cheerful since then, and I have the courage and mental power to boldly challenge and overcome hard work. And now I’m walking hard on my way to my dream. It was unimaginable before.” |
