I've enjoyed this journal exercise more than most people probably would because of my background in writing courses. I've always been more of a writing person than a math person. Journalism is a way for me to express and describe my opinions different from having to tell them out loud in front of people, which I don't normally like doing. These assignments have enabled me to share my feelings about topics in a more private setting.
There were only a few things I thought about because of the journal experience. One was writing about my frustrations in journal #4, involvoing the geocaching. I don't think I've had a moment of frustration throughout the actual in-class portion of our studies. The other big one would be writing about what I learned about myself after our morning with the naturalist.
The profession I hope to pursue after graduation is likely in the sports field. I hope to one day be an athletic director or general manager of a collegiate of professional sports franchise. I've always had an almost unhealthy passion for sports and the teams I root for every year. I hope to one day turn my passion into a career that I actually enjoy being a part of on a daily basis.
Being in Boy Scouts and growing up in a family with a great passion for the outdoors helped me prepare for this class in terms of general knowledge. I think taking this course probably opened my mind a little and helped me expand on my thinking. I learned more ways to reduce my impact on the environment and also read more about how important keeping our awareness of the outdoors a top priority. This is especially true because future generations are in danger of never seeing the things we've experienced in the outdoors.
