My stay in the rainforest

Last year, I left my job and went to Borneo to work without pay in the rainforest. So many people have said to me, " I would love to do something like that, " and I say, "If you want to, just do it. " They always reply, "I can't." But, if you really want to do it, there are ways to make it happen.

After three day's training, I started work on an environmental project with a group of young people. The accommodation (住宿) was very basic and we had to build our own 'bedroom' . It had a simple bed, a cloth roof and a net to keep insects out.

It was never dangerous there, but it was very challenging (挑战的). There were things that we didn't think we would manage to do, but we did. I had some of my worst moments there, but also some of my best - it made me feel alive. I didn't miss my home comforts as much as I'd thought I might. We had food, water, somewhere to stay, about three sets of clothes and really good talk. We were in the most beautiful place and we had things to keep us busy. We didn't need any more.

Before we came here, it was really important to me what clothes I wore and who my friends were. I was always thinking about shoes, but really none of that matters. Here, people like me for who I am, what I believe and think, not for what kind of clothes I wear.

本文主要陈述的是作者雨带丛林的一段经历。经过三天的训练后，作者适应了那里的简单生活。在那之前对于作者觉得穿什么以及我的朋友是谁很重要。而在这儿，人们喜欢我是因为我是谁，我所信仰的和所想的，而不是因为我所穿的。
