Priscilla and I had been classmates for several years but we never really liked each other. We had different groups of friends. Priscilla’s friends were very good at sports while my friends and I performed well in our studies. Priscilla was our school’s top athlete and was constantly praised by our teachers. I was jealous of her athletic abilities and her popularity at school. Maliciously (怀有恶意地), I thought she was just manipulating the teachers and her friends with her charm. I felt she was an insincere and shallow person. Therefore, I wanted to have nothing to do with her.
One afternoon, our class attended an adventure camp. One of the activities we participated in was rock climbing. I was very keen to learn rock climbing. We practiced first on a rock climbing wall, and once we had mastered the skills, we could go on to climb the cliff in the forest reserve. Rock climbers must work with a partner. While one person climbs, the partner must hold on tightly to the other end of the rope for safety. If the climber falls, the partner is responsible for stopping the fall.
The trainer assigned Priscilla to be my partner! I was very upset. How could I trust Priscilla? She would not stop me from falling. She would probably wish that I would fall. However, there was nothing I could do because the trainer wouldn’t allow us to change partners. So I climbed and Priscilla held on to the safety rope.
While climbing, a wave of joy and confidence came over me. I cautiously made my way up the wall, caught each notch (凹槽) above tightly, and pulled myself up. Every muscle in my body was shaking from the strain of climbing but I wanted to prove to everyone that I was a better rock climber than Priscilla. Thinking about outperforming Priscilla, my focus on climbing left me as I reached for a notch that was too far from my reach. I took a risk and jumped up to grab it.
