“I
value wilderness very much because it is one of the few things
that humans have not touched. It has its own natural beauty
and it will always stay that way. The trees were not planted,
the animals weren’t put here, and the mountains have not
been touched. It is these characteristics of wilderness that
makes me value it.”
“I value experience in life. There is nothing more satisfying
than knowing that I did something good in my life and knowing
that I got a chance to see something spectacular. Whether it
be another country or wilderness, going there to experience
it feels good.”
“What I learned from nature is that not everything is
available when you need it. If you’re having a hard time
with something, you can’t just give up, you have to stick
through it. You also have to be well prepared and organized.
More importantly, you have to have faith. These lessons can
apply to my every day life because I know not to give up on
something that seems impossible now. I just have to be prepared
for what I have to do and be organized in doing it. I learned
from nature what I may not learn anywhere else.”
