Basil decided this was boring* and stood right in the middle - catching all the balls that came at him. Best game ever!

Please provide a recent example of when you have stepped out of your comfort zone to personally ‘make a difference’? Why did you take this opportunity? What did you learn from this experience? What did it tell you about yourself?

This morning I was up at 6am.

As a uni student, this is pretty damn early. Compared to old city square times, though (4am), this is a veritable sleep-in.
