Nature's Gift

I think life can be hectic, and I think we can sometimes make it so. One thing I discovered this past summer was how much I enjoyed the peace and quiet of the early morning. I made it routine to wake up early, read a book, and drink some coffee. However, there was nothing that I enjoyed more other than the way the light was able to bring this tree to life once the sun came up just above the horizon. Another day, after a long storm, when you can smell the rain on the grass, there was a cool, calm evening left behind. This same tree was the only one that seemed to be to glowing afterwords. This sensation of the serene nature has been by a form of therapy, where I can go and detach from this insanely busy world. After having been so busy one point in the school year where I developed bronchitis, I have found that I need some source in life for an outlet to some pent up anxiety. To me, this outlet is nature. I think our natural human nature needs to feel connected to it. I mean, there just seems to be an uplifted environment when there are plants incorporated into a room, or a happier trip when hiking is involved. I feel as if we are naturally called to adventure in nature, maybe where some great discoveries are hidden. I can say for a fact that this passion for nature led me to an interest in Environmental Science, and now also Mechanical Engineering. I have always loved discovering nature and the way it works on a more technical level. I love how some of humanity’s greatest inventions were a result of copying nature in a way. This greater connection and understanding of the world inspires me to keep adventuring, to keep searching for my greatest discovery.
