Make sure you follow the adventure by checking our backcountry driving from days 1 & 2 during our trip to Big Bend National Park. Wake Up One of my first task when after waking up was checking on Bmo after he was forced to sleep in his truck with only a blanket due to a leaking tent. He was alive and mostly warm, so we all jumped in my car for a few minutes with the heat on. Once we were all fully warmed up, it was time to boil water for oatmeal and Malt-O-Meal. Finally, Jack and I packed up our
Throughout life, it is inevitable to face obstacles and endure moments of struggle and hardship at times. Regardless of what these obstacles and struggles may be, each of us has the choice to face it, learn from it and grow, or on the contrary, let it get the best of us, back down and fail. My life has consisted of struggles and obstacles, just as everyone has. I am fully aware that I am bound to face many experiences throughout my life that may not be in my favor, that may leave me feeling defeated

Elizabeth Brewster and Sujata Bhatt both suggest the significance of place in helping to shape a person’s identity in their poems but they do it in different ways. Brewster suggests that places change our identity when she writes “People are made of places”. This shows that every different place we visit we take the memories and experiences that we had there and keep them in our minds and hearts forever.
