I have always had a love hate relationship with writing. I like to think of myself as a very creative person who enjoys being expressive with my words, that is until it comes to putting them down on paper. I have always pride myself in having an expansive vocabulary and ability to articulate my emotions clearly from a young age. I had always excelled in my Literature and English courses in High School but soon found a stronger calling in public speaking and presenting. Though a daunting task for many I always found it so much easier to speak my mind then try to format my thoughts into an essay. Writing is one of those skills that if you do not continue to practice you can lose strength in rapidly.

I thoroughly enjoy writing so I feel confident in my writing ability. One of my high school teachers had told me that I am a gifted writer and my writing has a lot of voice in it. The only things I have found that I struggle with when it comes to writing is grammar and transitions between paragraphs. My reading ability is just as strong as my writing ability, although I do not enjoy reading nearly as much as I enjoy writing.

Overall, I enjoy writing. Preferably, I find comfort in writing without expectation or criticisms. I am familiar with the areas of my writing that need improvement, but my apprehensions stem from lack of time, discipline, and focus. It is undeniable that I enjoy writing as a free form of expression to keep secrets or share, it is a leisure for me. So, I will not take the time necessary to hone my skill set any further than what required of me during my academic career. When it comes to discipline and focus I find myself passionately articulating and editing my thoughts when I have an interest in what I am writing. Yet, when the subject matter is not captivating I do not put in nearly as much effort as I would if my heart was in it. Writing

For the most part, I like to write. I surprise myself sometimes when I read what I have written. Essays don’t seem to be that hard for me and most of the time comes naturally to write. Ever since I was younger, reading and writing were always my strong points in school. Math and science didn’t stand

In 2011, REI partnered with The Nature Conservancy to implement an afforestation project on the Bayou Bartholomew property in Louisiana, which will restore forest continuity with the adjacent Chemin-a-Haut State Park. Funding provided voluntarily by REI Adventures will finance the future retirement of carbon offsets from this project. Through this effort, REI supported The Nature Conservancy 's restoration of this forest ecosystem, as well as the design of a carbon project.

“Conservation refers to actions that aim to protect natural environments from present and future change. For example, nature conservancies purchase land that is deemed to be at risk in order to prevent exploitation of the area for residential, industrial, or agricultural development” (“Conservation,” 2009). Environmental conservation in the Tampa Bay area carries a great importance because of our natural resources with estuaries for wildlife and the aquifer, which supplies clean water to residents in the area. Tampa Bay residents interested in environmental conservation, have access to a variety of

My greatest assets as a writer are proofreading and research. I have a wide area of interests and it’s hard for me to decide which thing I would like to write about. I love to research and study politics, and coming from Alabama I have a front row seat to one of the most corrupt governing bodies in the United States. Another thing that all Bama people know about is college football. I started following the games in elementary school and they are as much a part of my life as any comic or book I have ever read. My greatest interest is writing for comics. Since I was a small boy I have gravitated to the world of superheroes and super villains. I enjoy taking a character and making them fight an injustice or stand up for a cause. The best characters always have a mountain to climb; I enjoy putting higher and higher peaks on that mountain.

Almost everyone faces setbacks, failures or something that has consequences that end up helping them. For me, this would be getting the starting spot for football from my competition. I had to work extremely hard to get it. It took so much time, effort, and hard work, but I eventually got it. Getting this starting spot in football has made me the person I am now. This is how it has affected me in life and how it has made the person I am today.

I do not recall exactly when I completed English 110 & 111, but I am sure I already did probably back in community college. To be honest I am not quite sure what are my strengths when it comes to writing. Since I have to pick a strength I would probably say that I tend to be very detailed in most cases when I write. I tend to go into detail explaining a topic or subject. But my strength could also be seen as my weakness because most of the time I end up repeating myself over and over. For example, last year I took English 355 and we had to write an essay in which we talked about a lesson plan for our students regarding how we would teach them poetry, well in this two page essay, according to my professor I ended up repeating myself. I realized

Writing sucks! It is one of the things I used to dread about the most in high school. I dislike it when instructors would ask us to write such long essays. I dislike it when I have to participate in writing challenges because teachers would randomly pick a student. Nonetheless, winning in those challenges heightened my self-confidence. I thought I hated writing, but I was somewhat decent and I started to like it a bit more. However, things took a sharp turn when I had two writing classes entering college. I realized I was not a decent writer after all.

My most favorite genres are action, adventure, and mystery. I would read about any fiction book (non-fiction is a whole different story) and it will probably be an okay book, but nothing can beat action, adventure, and mystery. I'm okay with non-fiction but they really aren't my favorites. I like some non-fiction books but others they get really boring and I start to fall asleep. If you told me to read a dictionary I would fall asleep before I got to the word aardvark, the second word in many dictionaries. My strength in writing is creativity, at least I think so, I try to excite or grab the attention of the reader in different ways instead of the norm. Grammar is my main downfall in writing, I always some how mess up, even if it's only a

With most wetland restoration and protection projects there are going to be challenges associated with each depending on the location and project type. MWC (2013) address’ these potential challenges specifically in the plan. The most noteworthy challenge is the legal, social, ecological, and economic complexity of the wetland and riparian management, protection, and restoration. In MT, the majority of wetlands and riparian areas are located on private land (MWC, 2013). With the continuous change in policy, guidance, rules, and new programs that potentially affect wetlands and riparian resources MWC seeks solutions to this challenge by engaging and informing the public (MWC, 2013).

1. From the economic analysis provided by PC b, Envision Alachua definitely appears to be an appetizing approach to utilizing Alachua County’s property. PC b states that conservation easements are “likely to provide tens of millions of dollars of value to the public in the form of forest ecosystem services” (pp 18).One of the goals of the Envision plan is to provide Alachua with recreation, aesthetics, and cultural use through 23, 216 acres of conversation easement while also addressing the rivalry of those goals with resources management and private use. While conservation will diminish resource utilization for private use, PC b goes on to state that between $18.2 and 72.8 million is valued for the services of timber, carbon sequestration, and water quality, thus increasing natural resource common pool goods. Regardless, even If these areas are protected from pure private use, the county is still saving money long term as they will not have to invest in water quality initiatives or carbon reduction. Additionally, the potential for public benefit is even acknowledged in the dissenting SP B article, in the form of jobs for surrounding areas which can also be seen as a Common Pool good. All in all, at the surface, Envision Alachua seems like a promising plan that balances public and private wants to effectively manage and conserve land through economic development, natural resource preservation, and secondary uses such as residential areas.

When people invaded California in the nineteenth century, freshwater seasonal marshland in the Central Valley has declined by over 95% from its original acreage. The Cosumnes River Preserve was first established as a project in 1987 as The Natural Conservancy (TNC) which was an international organization that supports conserving habitats and managing these areas in order to allow native species to thrive. The goal of this project was to encourage wildlife, practice sustainable farming techniques, build a positive relationship with local
