GOALS and FEARS for the week
12.2.02
Well I'm gonna talk about some of the goals and some of
the fears I have in Yosemite. One of my goals is to find
the inner person in me since I've been in Merced I haven't
been myself so hopefully I can change back into the person
I really am. This place is so cool, it's like the same way
like last time I've been thinking about my mom and how bad
I've been treating her but when I go back I know I'm gonna
be a better man. My fear is not now nothing really scares
me here but I just hope that my mom will expect me back
in the house. I don't want to leave - I love my home but
lately I've been dumb and ignorant. My mom is just looking
for the better in me and I didn't think she cared for me
but maybe it was me not caring for my mom and having more
respect for my brothers. My girl well love her so much she
means the world to me I love her more than life itself but
first when I get back I need to fix things with my mom.
It might be too late but I'll try, no, I will do no more
trying to be someone I'm not.
Imagine what
it would be like to live as the Native Americans first did.
12.3.02
If I was a native Indian life could be just a little bit
harder. Clothes, foods and living would be a challenge.
I would look about for my food and make my own clothes but
it would be quite and peaceful - but no people, nobody.
Just you and the wilderness.

It is an established
fact that people of European-American descent are more likely
to use wilderness areas. Why do you think this is? Does your
family use wilderness areas. If no, why not? If so, how?
12.4.02
I think why more Europeans come more is to see what beautiful
land we have in store for them and also the reason my family
or maybe other people haven't come is that they come once
then they think they've seen it all, but there's a lot more
stuff and things to do in the back country.
I want to remember...
12.5.02
Do you know how people remember things they always remember
ups and downs? Well, I could only remember the ups and not
knowing what to expect when we left for here. But to remember
the trees, the view was really cool, and just to remember
the people. It was just one of the shibbiest things you can
ever do.
