An Introduction to Me
College and Me
I'm not sure what I want to do when it comes to a career. This makes it hard to decide where I want to go to college. My mom wants me to go to UNCW to study criminology but I don’t know if that is what I want to do. I have been looking into UNCA because I heard that it is more accepting to allowing you to be who you are. UNCA offers all of the degrees that I might like to work toward and I love their beliefs. I do know that I want to go to a instate college so the tuition isn’t as high as going out of state.
The Relaxing Me At this moment I am actually looking for new ways to relax. Usually I listen to music or work on my computer. I also read on my Kindle to calm me. I would love to try meditating. I am trying to persuade my parents into allowing me to light candles in my room. The answer has been no so far. When I close the door to my room and turn the music up and just move, this is the best stress reliever for me. Sometimes I practice the karate that I learned when I was younger. Being alone is very relaxing to me.
Nature and Me Nature has a deep meaning for me. I love to be adventurous and walk around in the woods near my house. My Dad and I did nature walks in the area around the house until they built new houses that blocked our paths. My family loves to spend time on our boat together. Dad will stop at an island and then we will go explore it. I love to take pictures of nature. It annoys my friends and they think I am wasting my time. Once they pointed to a rock and asked, “Are you going to take its picture?” I called them jerks and walked away from them.
Sports and Me I actually do not like sports. I played soccer when I was younger but had to quit after I broke my ankle. I did not enjoy it enough to return to it when my ankle was better. I still enjoy karate, even though I don’t take lessons anymore. My least favorite sports have got to be baseball and basketball. I find both of them very boring! It is just a bunch of

    On my first day on campus at University of Colorado Boulder, my friend described the hike she wanted to take me on. She told me how beautiful the sun setting behind the mountains was, how perfectly the leaves seemed to fall off the trees showing the start of fall, and how cute the chipmunk was that scampered past her feet. Starting as early as writings from Henry David Thoreau, nature is described and viewed in a romantic sense. We seem to ignore the parts about destruction, pollution, and disturbance, the darker aspects of nature. From a realist point of view, nature is represented as cruel and brutal.…

    I love to play almost every sport there is. Out of all of them, my favorite sport has to basketball. I have played it all my life and plan on continuing to do so.

    Defining nature comes only from a personal experience, a description of the emotional effect you feel. Nature is a part of the world we can enjoy, not because of the changing times, but because it's in real form. Although, it's very difficult to define nature, you have to fully understand the relationship between present-day technology and nature by experiencing the outdoors one-on-one. Even if you walk out into your backyard, take a deep breathe, and soak up the free air; you still get a rush of excitement and energy. The feeling received from nature should be personal, sitting on a park bench alone in the park listening the ducks flap around is a personal experience. In the Age of Missing Information, Bill McKibben helps us realize what we are missing. When he talks about nature he never exaggerates, he doesn't throw out a catchy slogan to grab our attention. He simply speaks of nature in its purest form. Nature is a feeling, an emotion shared personally; however, there are many changes that begin to strip us of what we know as our lush environment.…

    Have you ever wanted something so bad that once you have it you kind of sit back and reevaluate everything that just happened and you just need a small breather to take everything in? There’s just something about nature that takes my breath away and takes me to a different dimension. It makes feel so calm and so at ease with myself. It makes me feel joy just looking at the small things in life. It makes me appreciate the smallest things, such as a beautiful sunflower growing in my backyard, and just sitting on my royal blue towel with flowers, that would remind you of Hawaii, on the sandy beach with my feet stretched out in front me staring into the ocean ,while squinting my eyes due to the powerful sun rays, takes my breath away everytime I look back into the moment I went to Myrtle Beach.…
