I have had several experiences with wilderness areas throughout the world. In fact, I consider myself somewhat of an explorer as traveling is one of my favorite pastimes. I have been fortunate enough to visit several different geographic regions of the United States, Canada, and Brazil. In the United States, I have visited, of course, the Everglades National Park (as well as various other parks of the surrounding everglades region), Yellowstone National Park (in Montana), and The Blue Ridge Mountain Ranges of Georgia and Tennesse; to name a few.
As I was born in the country of Brazil, I have also had some great travel opportunities within the country. I have been to countless tropical beaches and forests within the country; the famous Foz do Iguacu waterfalls; as well as the Pantanal (which is often referred to as the "amazon of the south" of Brazil). Below is a photograph of me on a raft in the Pantanal:
Followed by a photo of me climbing down a cave in the Pantanal:
Some anxieties that I am having about this class basically just include making sure that I am able to complete all of my work on time. I am quite talented in the department of time management, so I do not fear it will be a great problem for me.
I find that this course will undoubtedly be a great component to my education, to my major, and to my overall life experience. As aforementioned, I believe that this course will provide me the opportunity to experience some hands on learning which will ultimately contribute to my overall life experience. I also find that the service learning experience will help contribute character and help build my human capital which will definitely help me when I am pursuing my goals upon receiving my Bachelor's degree.
