Everyone is mad because, a couple days ago, I accidentally wandered too far from the wagons. The train had to spend an entire day looking for me. I feel…

The female padded quickly across the frost bitten plains, her paws occasionally skidding across small pools of ice.

The best memories of growing up are the many times my parents took my sisters and I on road trips to see the many wonders of the world. This is what got me interested in nature and how the world works. Of the many trips that our family took across the world, the most memorable was only a few short summers ago. In the summer of 2014, our…

I have had many experiences working with groups of people in my time as a camp counselor. An emergency situation that I automatically think of is a time last summer when I could not find one of my campers.
