Complications

I am sorry that I haven’t been posting much at all. In fact I’m really far behind but the reason why I haven’t been posting much and why I’m behind is because I have been having some complications. Here are a few: The Spring River Foundation is a great foundation but the field trips I’m supposed to be on are really far away, I keep on forgetting to do blog post, and I have been trying to find a new topic to do. I know it's really easy to do there for most of you but I keep on forgetting because I have only done one and then I kinda forgot about it. To remember more often I set a reminder on my iPhone every friday morning at 12 to tell me “Make a post on your blog”. The last and probably the most important is finding a new idea to do for my blog. I think I have one so we will see if I have found one soon enough. Thank you for reading my blog and I apologize that I haven't been posting much but I should be posting more.

The Beginning of the Trail

My goal is to teach kids about nature, how to take care of it, how to maintain nature and to show kids the fun in nature.

There are many reasons why I want to help kids learn more about nature but I have two main reasons. The first reason is because I love nature. I grew up going fishing, camping, hiking, hunting and catching bugs but most kids in this era do not do any of those thing. So I want to help kids learn about and experience nature. The second reason is kids do not get out as much as they did a couple of years ago. Today most kids own one or more of these products: computer, Xbox console, Playstation console, iPhone, iPad, iPod, or a portable video game. I want kids to go explore nature, learn about nature, respect it and most importantly enjoy nature.

I plan on working with other people in an organization called Spring Rivers Foundation. They have two main goals which I have in common with them. The first and probably the most important are helping improve and monitor nature. The second is to help educate people of our area and the natural environment through outdoor education and environmental projects. So I will probably be working with other people in the foundation. This foundation is the perfect place for me to complete my goal because I get to help people teach people about nature. Not only that but I might get to help better the environment.

I am nervous because there might be some problems along the way. My first worry is about someone getting hurt during some of the outdoor projects. I know that does not happen that often but it is a possibility. If someone is hurt I will help in any way possible. Another worry is teaching people something that is not correct and I worry I will not know what to say. So to keep that from happening I will study up on the subject as much as I can. Sometimes I get stage fright so I’m hoping that working with the foundation will help get rid of my stage fright.

To conclude my main goal is to get kids out more and teach them about nature, to complete my goal I am planning on working with the Spring River Foundation, and last my main two fears about doing this are someone getting hurt and freezing up while teaching to people. I cannot wait to start on this project.
