So I went home this weekend, and in my neighborhood there is a small pond and all behind it is just woods. I’ve traveled in these woods as a little kid numerous times, with my friend and her father and he would teach us about the different bugs, trees and rocks we encountered along the way. Going back in the woods this past weekend, I was overcome with a feeling of nostalgia. I remember the times we would try to climb the trees, or chase after the grasshoppers or even just walk around and all the fun we used to have. Walking through the woods alone made me miss all the fun times I had as a child.
As I child I was carefree, I knew who my friends were and I had no worries about trust and my relationships with others. Growing up, especially in college I’ve began to question my friends, I have a whole lot more stress and things are definitely not as simple as they once used to be. The woods were the same woods they used to be, not much has changed, but the person walking through them has. I can not even remember the last time I entered the woods behind the pond, but I know one thing for sure that I have grown up so much since then.
Walking through the forest I began to think of all the ways I have changed and I realized a few things. Physically, obviously, my appearance has changed, but emotionally I have changed a whole lot more. I have began to lead a more stressful life, with school work, friends and family always a constant thought in my mind. I have learned that I have begun to trust people too easily and then in the end I am always hurt. I have learned that people are not always who they say or portray themselves as.
The Essay on Nature Woods Feel Time
Corbin Jordan 4 th hour Nature Its 6: 30 in the morning. Its dark, cold and snowing. We pull into the woods and unload the truck. We walk over to the blind and sit down. We wait. Off to the right some birds chirp.Off to the left a squirrel jumps along the tree tops. Behind us we can hear some turkeys crashing into the ground. We can feel the wind coming in through the holes in the blind. The smell ...
I do not regret all the things that I have learned, I am actually quite grateful for them. Without all these changes I would not have been able to grow into the person I am today. Walking through the woods, I learned all the things about me I need to change but at the same time all the things that I love about myself as well. Initially when I thought about this assignment, I figured I would go in the forest, pay attention to what I saw and heard and write down all my results in this paper. Doing this assignment did so much more than I expected and I enjoyed it greatly.
