Geography is My Life
Geography is a subject that is fulfilling because I have a passion to learn about places and their culture. A lot can be learned from shows like “Aerial Views,” and even just traveling. When an overnight stay is required, I always take note of the hotels available. Researching restaurants and menus for the area is also interesting. If I meet a person, I have asked them where they are from. If I am curious about the place, I will later research the city, just to know about it. There have been times I have met a person, and when they tell me where they are from, I will already be familiar with the city. They are pretty astonished by what I know about their city in terms of what county it is in, whether it is the county seat, the state it is in, and whether or not it is a suburb. Sometimes, I have gotten it incorrect.

The Sullivan Campaign
I am a native of the Finger Lakes region of New York and ever since I was young I’ve had a deep love for local history. My father lived in Seneca Falls, NY in his family home where I spent the remaining weekends, holidays and most of my summer vacation. The family house was only three doors up from the Women’s Rights Convention site and I remember visiting the museum on multiple occasions during my childhood.

My USA embassy experience
At every point in time in a man's life, we tend to be a part of three different experiences, which are the good, bad, and ugly. It is almost certain that 95% of humans have all gone through these experiences. And if you have not, yours is around the corner, it's winking at you, and the truth is you don't really need to be the one to orchestrate the experience you might and will just find yourself in it but as for me i orchestrated it and i found myself in it twice.

Trees Are Essential To Our Life Experience
Trees are not just a key to the natural ecosystem; they are an essential part of our life experience. From majestic individual trees that have historical significance or are simply beautiful, to a quiet grove of greenery we seek for solitude, trees enrich our life experience simply by just being there. Trees are the longest-lived and largest plant form on earth, and throughout recorded history, trees have been acknowledged as symbols of power, wisdom, fertility, and life.
