Don’t tread on me. Four simple words. Those four words helped build the strongest country in the world. The land of the free did not rise to the top easily, it took blood sweat and tears.

Stunting can be very dangerous, but sometimes in the most peaceful moments often occur at the edge of catastrophe. This is the quote I live by. It all started in elementary school about 5th grade. I felt very lonely and indeed was. I had a number friends here and there, but I never really had any true friends. I just felt like there wasn't an association for myself. I would see movies where kids would get super powers or have like a great talent and I would become very jealous. I didn't know what

Also, when Gawain sets off for the Green Knight, the story says, “After journeying through grom landscapes and fighting dragons, ogres, and wild beasts, Gawain arrives.” (Gardner 66) This shows that Gawain is impressive because not many people can go through this many hardships and stay alive.

I was intimidated. Actually, let me be honest, I feared a thrashing at the hands of the River God. Trembling muscles warned me to just shoulder my boat and walk. I couldn't. I traveled all the way from Pennsylvania to run these rivers, how could I back out now? I had to run Sunshine Falls...the largest rapid on the Royal Gorge section of the Arkansas River.
