While doing the Award programme, my biggest reservation was to stay in nature. I've never had such an experience before. But since childhood, I always wanted to take pictures of animals found in nature. I took this photo in the Balçova Therapy Forest, where our school held a first test walk. This photo actually changed my perspective on animals. I was always scared when I saw a spider or any kinds of insects until I took this photo. But what I felt when I saw this spider was that it was protecting its eggs, in a way, its children. In short, this test walk was actually a source of motivation that made me think that I could do the nature walk in the programme as it helped me in terms of not scaring me from animals.
