"I'm usually the one taking care of them. But this time, they were the ones offering snacks, sharing sunscreen, and waiting at the bend when I fell behind with a leg cramp. They walked beside me."

Muriel, a student affairs coordinator with first aid certification, joined the trip expecting to assist from the sidelines. But along the way, she became the one receiving care—and saw students grow from being guided to taking initiative.

Throughout the trip, students weren’t just participants—they led, collaborated, and adapted in real time. “Good Job, Good Try, Good Learning” wasn’t just a motto—it was lived.

Muriel once said this would be her last OAEP trip. Now, she says: “To be continued.”
