Exploration Adapting In Mexico

As a child, I unraveled nature’s beauty and existence. Each new experience brought me feelings of excitement and joy, sparkling my imagination and igniting my curiosity. It all seemed so large back then. Oceans appeared endless as they reached towards the horizon. Treetops seemed to make friends with the puffy-looking clouds as they soared to the sky. Over the years however, as I have grown older and life has become more complex, I am beginning to think less and less about the natural world around me. I glimpse sunset stuck in rush-hour traffic trying to return school after debate practices and only listen to the pitter-patter of the rain when there’s a storm outside. Forests and oceans seemed less appealing as they became intertwined with the urban development. In a way, I was becoming more and more distanced from the so-called nature. So, with an overwhelming desire for adventure and to escape the masses, my family and I drove to Big Bend National Park in Southwest Texas last summer.

The journey began, the first state we rode through was Alabama, I couldn’t see much since it was night time. All I could see was the clear night sky. No stars were shining that night. The only lights I could see were street lights, building lights, and other cars. Looking around inside the car, everyone was asleep except for my uncle since he was the one driving. I must have been asleep the whole 4 hours and 46-minute car ride through Mississippi because I don’t remember anything, same with Louisiana. Finally, when we got to Texas all I wanted to do was get out of the car, so luckily, we stopped by to eat at Cici’s. My aunt said, “To enjoy this last meal since it was the last fast food, that we would be having for a while.” After we ate, it took us about 5-hours to get to Matamoros, Mexico. That was where we had to drive through the border to get into Mexico. Once we got into Mexico, there were lines of cars everywhere from people trying to enter and leave at the same time. The lines were slowly moving, like a turtle, inch by inch. There

When I was young, I remember enjoying shows like “The Crocodile Hunter,” or “Kratt’s Creatures”. I idolized Steve Irwin and the Kratt Brothers, and would pretend to be them when I’d play outside. The woods were a constant source of fascination ever since I could remember. I think I’ll always be in awe of the wondrous natural world. Subconsciously, its something I’ve always carried through my life. In high school, I had no idea what I was going to do with the rest of my life. Then, I took Biology with Mr. Bill Klein. His teaching reconnected me with the my inner kid who loved nature. I credit my renewed love for biology to him. I started looking into careers where I could do what I loved, study wildlife. Then, I heard about wildlife biology. I fell in love with the thought of walking in the woods, researching the natural

Humans often find bliss in nature, as it can be a place of comfort for many. On the other hand, nature is also a place where we go to test our strength, and learn life lessons. By getting out there and letting the trials of mother nature challenge us, valuable encounters and experiences build our character in a positive way. Humans crave adventure. With nature’s resources, the glorified idea of adventure becomes a reality.

I particularly enjoyed a biology project for which I chose to research a new haemophilia treatment being developed, which required fewer injections. This would make the lives of sufferers much more managable. While writing this report I realised that Biomedical Science was the way by which I could help people on both an individual basis and a large scale, whilst satisfying my ambition

Nature is the playground for every human. It is essential that we include nature in our lives; it keeps us on our correct path. However, if we dismiss ourselves from nature, we begin to stray from our correct path. We become engulfed in the distractions from the modern world . The only approach to appropriate this quandary is to break our pervicacious ways and return to peaceful serenity known as nature.

“Could it be that we are supposed to be talking to the plants and animals, interacting with them, accepting the gifts they offer, and using them in ways that further their growth?”(Starhawk, 162). I feel this quote from “Our Place in Nature” is a great way to start the topic of how artists uses plant life in their work. It shows how artists might try to interact with the environment for ideas on the works that they come up. I feel also that they are trying to be one with the environment. I feel if you spend enough time in nature, you will build a strong connection with everything around you. This comment is justified when Starhawk said, “I can walk into any forest where the trees are strange and understand something about the relationships

Two of the most influential explorers in the 1500s are Francisco Pizarro and Hernán Cortés. Both were great conquistadors from Spain and were some of the first people to explore certain areas in the “new world.” After exploring the new land that they had each found, they decided to claim it for Spain, but first they had to deal with the hostile natives that already controlled the land.

Thereafter, I decided to pursue a career in the biological sciences with an emphasis in Microbiology/Molecular Biology to further understand how postharvest diseases affect many crops, and why foodborne pathogens infect humans. While continuing my general education at the College of the Sequoias, I became involved in various clubs and organizations in my community college, including the Science, Engineering, Technology, Association (SETA), and the Alpha Gamma Honors Society where we make collaborative efforts to raise funds for student scholarships and provide valuable volunteer opportunities such as providing food for needy families and accomplishing local ecological restorations.

On an early dawn in April, my mother and father woke my siblings and I up and told us to shower and put the clothes she had laid out for us on. They told us to pick our favorite toy; I chose my Mulan doll. We hurried into a taxi with three large suitcases and no idea where we were heading with such secrecy. It turns out, that would be the last time I would see my country of Birth.

The mystery and beauty of nature are some of the greatest phenomenons to ever exist. There are no limits to what you may discover and witness while outside and exploring. The advancement of technology has strayed today's youth far away from nature and the outdoors. Today’s prototype of success has caused people to move away from nature and instead follow laid out paths that will ensure a large income. Many brave and courageous people, such as Chris McCandless, have abandoned society and began their own pursuit of happiness. But what about nature and the wilderness is it that draws so many people to it?

It was just another ordinary Thursday for my mother in the small town of Oratorio de Concepcion in rural El Salvador. Just like any other eight year old in 1980, she got up, brushed her teeth, quickly pulled her knotted hair into a high ponytail, and left for school. The short distance she walked was filled with the sounds of worn out shoes hitting the dirt road as children ran by excited to start a new day at the town’s only elementary school. After hours of sitting in a classroom surrounded by grey concrete bricks, once the last bell rang, she would wait at the entrance gate for her younger brother and cousin. They walked back down the dirt road together while kicking a deflated soccer ball to their home where their grandmother would be waiting for them with a little snack. My mother, her older

Nature should play a massive role in a kid’s life. Even though, in today’s society, it is hard to do so. Being

My connection with nature that were unveiled during my observations can be summarized in four ways, the first being memories. When I was a kid my first experiences with nature where having fun playing outside and spending time with my family. I had a really vivid imagination in my youth, along with the large property my family owned, I had a vast area to have as much fun as I desired. My family has direct connections with the Mojave Desert, moreover that allowed me to spend a decent block of time in either, the National Park, or learning about our area. During my observations, just being in that similar environment brought back several memories from my youth. Furthermore, that will be something that sticks with me for the rest of my life.

Like many eager non native environmentalists, waiting to be engulfed by the green revolution, I saw the Indigenous culture as a link that could bring me closer to the earth. I believed that the generation of biodiversity could only
