I came here to the Skills Festival today thinking it would be boring, but I found it was a good experience.

I did the royal marine commando climbing wall with my friend Corey and it was hard We both did it to see who could last the longest and it was quite a daunting experience with everyone crowding around us to have a look and see who was the strongest! It was really realistic and the wall rotated to make it even harder. I already go to Cadets and want to join the marines when I am older. Even my friends who aren’t interested in any careers yet said that this festival had opened their eyes to the Royal Marines.

I also went around most of the rest of the festival and collected many booklets to improve my knowledge about what other things are out there.
