The JET team inspires people to jump out of their comfort zones. The JET team started in October 2012 and it supports people to be more confident. It also helps people to meet new people and talk out loud. It was a lot of fun and hard work but worth it. The best activity I did was the rock climbing. It was fun and also gives you confidence. It’s helped me in school. Since the JET team, I have been taking part in drama shows, acting in Ucheldre and it has also made me meet new people that I wouldn’t normally talk to and it also makes you talk to adults that give you advice. We had an experience that no one else has. We have been in a flight simulator, we met people that we wouldn’t know, necessarily meet or talk to. In the beginning I was a wall flower but now I am acting in front of people in my group. It gives you a chance to be confident and meet new people and have something to enjoy.
