Subpar Experience I don’t think I had ever been so frustrated and annoyed in my life. I couldn’t believe what was taking place right in front of me. At the time I was unaware of the effect that it would have on me for years to come. My sophomore year in highschool‚ I was on the Cle Elum-Roslyn High School golf team. I had struggled all year long‚ staying after practice countless times so my coach‚ Wade‚ could teach me how to perfect my shot. Previously that season‚ I had gone to one tournament.

So‚ I decided to just schedule the time that was best for me and let my “BFFs” know. I emailed Lieutenant Sligh and set up a date.

The first day of dance practice was strange. Growing up in a Buddhist environment‚ I had never been

I’ve never been an "outdoors" experience kind of person. Maybe‚ it’s because I’m very sedentary and prefer to stay inside to read and enjoy tranquility. I avoid all types of chaos and crowded places. Nevertheless‚ my visit to the Camuy River Cave Park (back in 2004) was refreshing and enriching in knowledge‚ historically‚ scientifically and spiritually.
