10E 第八天環台心得分享

　　有時候，身為學生的我們，只把重心放在學業上，對於自己所生長的土地卻是一無所知，然而藉由此次環台，卻代表了一次重新認識自己家園的契機。
　　今天，我們從文化古都台南一路騎到了嘉義，沿途的天氣如夏日豔陽般的籠罩著我們；四周的風更是夾帶著暖意向我們襲來；此刻的我們只想跨下單車，趕緊休息。但一想到幾天前才拼了命的騎上壽卡，那時的鬥志便又重燃心中。隨著老師和同學沿途得鼓勵，加上對班級向心力的信任，我們再一次的踏出舒適圈，在一步步的努力下，抵達目的地。
　　嘉義這座城市，對大部分的我們來說是陌生的，與平常所居住的台北大有不同。雖然沒有時尚新潮的建築，卻有濃濃的台灣味等著我們去感受，去體會。晚上的夜市行更讓我們對當地人的生活有了更進一步的認識，或許，這就是環台最核心的意義──用自己的力量走遍台灣的各個角落。
　　未來還有四天等著我們去挑戰，去探索；還有更多未被發掘的台灣之美等著我們。就讓我們好好把握剩下的這幾天，為自己的青春，繪上這與眾不同的一頁。

        Even though we had finished the hardest part of this cycling trip, today was still a challenge for most of us, since we still have the tiredness and soreness from that 12 kilometer climb. So the teacher decided to divide the class into two, with people that need more careful attendance in the back accompanied by two teachers and two other students. The view seen and the feeling felt along the trip was pretty much the same as the past few days; the heat coming down on us at 35 degrees, the road that seemed to lead to nowhere, and also everyone struggling not to fall asleep. Today, the distance we had to cover was very little compared to past days, and that made today relatively easy. At night, we were allowed to go out for the first time in our trip to visit the night market. There was so much great things to eat and buy, and there was not enough time to do so, so many of us were caught. Today was a fun day.
