Influential

2)  When Krakauer wrote "no one was affected more powerfully by his or her brief contact with the boy than Ronald Franz."  The people that come to my mind when it talks about influencing is my mom and my grandpa. I wouldn't be the person who I am today if it weren't for them. Since my dad left when I was younger, my grandpa kinda took over the father role for me but I still treated him like my grandpa. They are always there for me no matter what, even if it is a sporting event, big moment in my life, or just a normal day problem I know that they will be there to help me. They have always influence me to do what I believe in and to not stop till i have reached whatever i'am going for. My mom influences me in a different way than my grandpa can and my grandpa can influence me in a different way. My mom is usually for everyday life and my grandpa can influence me sports and make me a better athlete. We all have those people that can make a positive impact in our life.

Nature Surounds

     Nature surrounds us in many ways. We can describe it in many different aspects. Nature can have a full meaning of life and it is all around us. When I experienced nature for myself, I see many different aspects of it; I hear cars moving across the pavement at a steady rate. As the car drove by it gave a single honk, but no wave. I hear a birds faint chirp off in the distance to hard to tell what kind it is. I only heard it for a few minutes then it disappeared  I always wish I was a bird because of their ability to fly naturally. It always seems like a pleasure to be flying and experience everything from above. When I look up in the sky I see nothing but never ending blue. It seems like it could go on forever. The white clouds give it a nice compliment on this bright and beautiful day.

     As I'm laying here my eyes keep on wondering and all around be are bare trees. You can tell its a nice Autumn day. All the leaves are falling off and it leaves nothing for the trees, they are simply naked. The bright orange and yellow leaves cover the grass on the ground. Twigs and sticks lie upon the leaves covering almost every aspect of the ground. I hear rattling on the cement and I look over and leaves are rolling all over the ground making a smooth noise. Its almost too calm outside where I just want to lay down and enjoy the rest of my day and take a nap.

     Nature is all around us and you can see it in any way. You can relate your life to it and just connect with it. So I suggest everyone to go experience it every now and then and just enjoy your time out there.
