Growing up in a gated residential did not really expose me to the “real world”. It limited the activities I could do, making each day the same routine as the day before. It mainly consisted of going to school, logging on to the computer, and doing work assigned to me.

The change of seasons in America 's northern midwest will vex you, distort you, like the sorceress you saw in a movie when you were young and the world was still strange, or the recurring dream you have where you try to run but your legs won 't move. They cycle in disparity, some lasting an eternity, some gone before you can turn your head. The seasons are unpredictable and unfair- first they are gentle as your mother 's touch, and then they are inexplicably violent, like a vengeful god…

Even though forest fires can be beneficial, one forest fire can spark for a variety of different reasons as well as create an array of changes within a forests ecosystem. Nearly 4 to 10 million acres of forest lands burn every year (Dickman,16). Today’s fires are sizably smaller than fires before the 20th century, where almost 30 million acres burned. The sizeable difference with today’s fires is due to the intensity of which they burn (Dickman,16). Scientists at the Harvard school of…
