James Joseph: Personal Choice (1) First Day Poem

The sky is vast, the land is flat
This is the only place I've wanted to be at.
With trees all around, and professor in sight
It's about time to start this ULLC right?
With words and essays, I will show
The beauty of forests and lands covered in snow.
So believe me now, as I say:
The time to start writing is...today!

I have always found beauty in the unchanged, disordered essence of nature. Whether it's the forest in my back yard, the lawn outside of Potomac South, or the tundras of Alaska, I love everything that nature has to offer. I think that sometimes we as humans tend to overlook the smaller things, the smaller beauties in life. And if we take the time to notice these things, to enjoy them, and to notice that we as humans are as much a part of the world as a blade of grass is, I feel that life will be so much more to us. Firmly put, I love nature: The tightening grip of the wilderness as you crack open the door to nature is incomparable to any other feeling in the world. I am looking forward to learning, observing, and loving everything from this class: And hopefully because of that I'll be able to work for a good grade as well!
