I trotted through the soft, muddy, ground of the Garnsey Road Arboretum. It surely wasn't the most enjoyable hike I've ever been on, frankly it was a bit subpar. The wet, soggy, low lying ground was nothing compared to the majestic heights and great views of the Adirondacks. I have also been on many hikes in the Adirondacks, my favorite of which was the climb up Cascade Mountain, one of the 46 High Peaks. The entrance to the arboretum is on Garnsey Road, right in the middle of a suburban residential
This past semester I did all of my volunteering hours at the UCF Arboretum. The UCF Arboretum is a learning community whose goal is to teach volunteers about the connection between humans and our ecosystems. The arboretum includes walking trails, a community garden, and a garden located in the creative school which are all on campus. Through my volunteer experience I learned the positive effects of a community garden and the importance of collaboration and citizenship. According to Twiss, Dickinson

As part of the UCF Lead slogan, “to serve” the important part of leadership is to serve others. As part of my service hours, I decided to work in Youth Advocacy and Children Services, environmental issues, and homelessness and hunger. In most of these situations, I was a servant leader as “a leader” or I worked with “an organization that seeks to first to serve others” (Kline 99). All of these causes are meant to benefit others, as is the definition of volunteering. By volunteering I am able

This trip has been one of my most favorite trips of all time. At first I didn’t know what to expect or how I would enjoy this trip, but once we started I began to fall in love with the city and the people I was with. On Monday afternoon we all went to see the Brooklyn Bridge. While we were there, Mr. Sattler spoke to us about the history of the bridge and what it took to build it. From laying its foundation under the water to putting together the bridge’s suspension, many people died throughout the
animals can have over humans. During my trip to the Arboretum I thought a lot about the importance of the desert. I thought about how complex and beautiful it is. It is a landscape that I do not think many people view as beautiful. I know that when I first came to visit Phoenix I thought the desert was quite ugly. It wasn’t until I made an effort to find its exquisiteness that I did. Participating in activities like visiting the arboretum and taking day trips to Sedona and Tuscon have helped me
I’m even feeling or thinking about. I cruise around the windy road that oddly resembles my crazy life, each bend bringing out a new set of emotions and memories that put another crack in my soul. As I finally make it to the straight shot to Dawes Arboretum, I start to question why I ever thought I could completely open my heart to someone. The sun is a fiery shade of orange as it begins to set over my destination: the Japanese garden. I slowly idle down the small hill that leads to t... ... middle

Plastered on the walls of the landscape design lab at BYU are stickers that emphatically decree, “trees are the answer.” While this seemed like an obvious proclamation, it wasn’t until my professor sarcastically asked, “well, then what do you think is the question?” that I began to give it some serious thought. If trees really are the answer, what was the process in coming to that conclusion? I have started to formulate these questions as an undergraduate students, However, I feel this process has
The great American journalist Dan Rather once said “A college degree is the key to realizing the American dream, well worth the financial sacrifice because it is supposed to open the door to a world of opportunity”. One of the hardest decision that goes along with this is where to receive this college degree. In the state of Indiana, there are many great colleges to attend to, but only two really stand above the rest. This is Indiana University (IU) and Purdue University. There are many differences

The Role of Haptics in Persuasion Haptics is the use of touch. It can be expressed in many ways and variations. Haptics is a central part of nonverbal communication, which consists of body language. The effect of a touch can have either a negative or positive response. While some say touch is imperative to sustaining interpersonal relationships, others believe the use of touch is impartial. Subsequently, the art of persuasion attempts to alter people’s attitudes. As reported by the International

Nezahualcoyotl (Hungry Coyote) born in 1402 in Texcoco, was considered the greatest poet of ancient Mexico. He was the ruler of the city-state of Texcoco, which together with the city-states of Tenochtitlan and Tlacopan made up the Aztec Empire. The Aztec Empire ruled the Valley of Mexico for 93 years (1428-1521) until Hernan Cortes’s Spanish conquistadores and his native allies defeated it. The Aztecs controlled almost all of central Mexico, except the Tlaxcalteca kingdom. However, Nezahualcoyotl
