Hiking

before, the possibilities are endless, and my job choices would be no different. The number one thing I’d like to do right now for my future career is adventure therapy. It’s a kind of therapy that brings clients on adventures, like rock climbing, or hiking, or mountain biking. Adventure therapists do this to help their client discover something new about themselves, and replacing bad memories with good ones. If I choose to go down this road, I will most likely attend Plymouth University in New…

Camp Manitou is a safe haven for those not usually accepted by the norm of societies standards. With open arms campers and counselors welcome all people of all backgrounds and walks of life. From skit night to the mud hike or cabin time to field games, campers are allowed to express themselves however they feel is needed. If that means wearing a pink tutu or metallic gogo pants around their head, it is highly encouraged. Having been a camper for seven years, being able to work there was a dream…

An increase in minimum wage has short term benefits but long term setbacks. While raising the minimum wage is a good idea to help the low wage worker, raising it too much may end up hurting not only these workers, but the economy and everyday people alike. In my paper I am going to thoroughly analyze the effect of raising minimum wage in our society. I am also going to look at how the issue of minimum wage is covered in the upcoming 2016 presidential election. We rarely hear the candidates talk…

Camila Hernandez: A Risk-Taker Hiking the 2,800-meter-high Pico de Loro Mountain in Colombia was a usual day in the life of Camila Hernandez.

In eastern Galilee, Laurie Rimon found a 2,000 year old gold Roman coin while hiking. The coin was said to be found around the place it is said that Jesus performed the multiplying of water and bread ritual. The shiny coin was just in the grass in plain sight waiting to be found. After the founding of the coin Laurie Rimon turned the coin into the Israel Antiquities Authority. The coin was so rare that there was only one other coin of that type in the world besides that one. The coin had the…

Good Morning Barbara: Nestldown came up when I was asking around for inspirational places for a staff retreat. Repeatedly, people mentioned attending exquisitely romantic weddings up in the Mountains. While looking at your website, I noticed your particular interest in offering the space to agencies benefiting “…disadvantaged or disabled individuals or those in crisis and transition.” We are such an agency, therefore, I thought we might possibly make an excellent match. As you may know,…

The last two fast foods to mention are marshmallows and graham crackers. The marshmallow dates back to ancient times, although the graham cracker only goes back…

I went on a road trip to Lake Tahoe with my friends the week after graduation in June. We rented a cabin near the lake and spent four nights kayaking, hiking, and exploring different scenic spots throughout the area. My favorite (and scariest!) part of the trip was working up the courage to jump off a 20 foot cliff into the lake. The trip was a great way to wrap up our time at UCLA, and it gave us a chance to hang out together one last time before we went our separate ways. I would donate a…
