I read the book Canoeing With the Cree by Eric Sevareid. This book is about two young men named Eric Sevareid and Walter Port. These men were best friends in high school.

This was the first time an all-water trip had ever been made from Minnesota to the North Atlantic Ocean. Their plan was to start in Minneapolis and go to York Factory at the Hudson Bay. They canoed up the Minnesota River and its…

The idea popped into my mind when I was in middle school, and I have…

things around me I should have whenever I wanted them. When I first started high school at Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School I learned solitary, being kind to others, and reflecting on the past. I knew I was spoiled at a younger age but did not do anything about it. Brebeuf helped me find a way to be more capable of being less selfish and more being a “man for others”. The word community means family to me, I saw my school as a family. As a family we had gone through a lot of sorrow, and I felt…
