When I first joined a hockey team it changed how I felt in this world forever. When I was about 6 years old I quit figure skating because I…

But my love and interest for animals have always been the same—entirely pure and spontaneous. Nature’s creations are one of the things that astound me the most; nature is a perpetual source for divine creativity of which I am only a mere admirer and a weak connoisseur. The creation of tigers,…

We all need to have a daypack for our everyday uses. And, the Fjallraven Kanken backpacks is all that you will ever need.

Myanmar. I hate that word. A word can bring so much pain and memory. People often say “life is a journey from moment to moment. Live each moment to its fullest”. However, life is not fair to every one of us. Some of us are lucky and some of us are not so lucky. For the fortunate ones, life is an impossible journey for the very unfortunate.

The specific skill I choose is jogging a mile (4 laps) on the track. The components of the skills are a proper warm-up, the activity which in this case is jogging 4 laps around an outdoor track, and cool down. I usually start my run around 6-7 PM and the sun has already set by then. Script: Imagine a dark sky, look up at the moon if it’s out today, see the outdoor field and the black track, feel yourself walking down the steps to where the steps end and the track begins. You can feel the track…
