I was resolved to stretch myself, and hopefully, instill the passion I feel for nature and the outdoors in the hearts of all the children I would encounter. I was fortunate to have been able to spend my youth hiking through the woods, camping, sitting on the end of a pier fishing, and searching for frogs, snakes, and turtles to play with &ndash; pastimes that many children today do not experience. While I may not have dreams of becoming a teacher, these are things I can share with others...</p>
