Brian Lindo Grandcanyon

     When I graduated high school in 2023 in the summer before my first year here at CNU. My mom and I took a vacation to Las Vegas this was my present from here for graduating from high school. This was the first time I went on a vacation with just her and the first time I was in the western USA. I traveled north and south the east coast, but I never went out west. So, I was really excited to go out west for the first time. Though Las Vegas and the hotel was fun I was 18 at the time so I couldn't do much and it was really hot outside, so it was unbearable to walk around outside. So my favorite part of the trip was when we went to the Grand Canyon. We woke up really early in the mooring we got on a tour bus that took us to Arizona and the Grand Canyon. The bus ride was fun as well the tour guides gave us fun fact about the city and the towns we passed through, and they provided us lunch. So the bus ride was fun. But when we arrived at the Grand Canyon, I couldn't believe my eyes it was so much cooler and bigger in person then in the pictures. There was so many cool views like the eagle in the side of the canyon it was so cool to see the Colorado river though it was sad to see how shallow the river has got over the year. There was a lot of fun thing we could do there like go over a glass bridge which I found cool but my mom didn't like she also didn't like when I went to the very edge she was terrified that I would fall but I couldn't help myself it was so cool I want to see and do as much I could. The Grand Canyon was the first national park I have ever visited it was so fun and cool it made me really want to other national park in the near future.

Kip Redick Example of a Student's Choosing

  This is an example of a topic of the student's choosing.   During the summer of 2022, I attended an environmental encounters trip to Iceland with Dr. Kip Redick, Dr. Joe Balay, and 14 other students. It was a two week trip, but those short two weeks completely changed my life. I learned about more things than I thought was possible in 14 days, and I've never been more interested in learning before. It completely opened my eyes to a whole new perspective, on how the world should live, and what the environment should look like. Everyone was so kind, and they are the most environmental conservative countries.  While there, we did many different activities, including hiking on a glacier. It was so fun, but exhausting and kind of sad at the same time. It was obvious to see how much the glacier have had melted in the past years due to global warming, as there was a large glacial lake at the bottom with melted ice, and the glacier was all rock and sediment before w...

Kip Redick Example of an Outside Reading Post

 Recently I decided to give the renowned masterpiece by Jon Krakauer known as Into the Wild  another read. Needless to say I was just as heartbroken as the first time I read this novel/watched the 2007 film. I felt the need to discuss the work here simply because I feel it relates to a lot of discussions we have been having in class. I mean think about it, a young man sets out across the country to explore creation as it was intended to be experienced. As the story progresses, I remember being left with a sense of wonder, even thinking things along the lines of "I wonder would what happen if I just decided to do this one day?" I feel it's common knowledge how this story ends by now, with the main protagonist passing away alone in the wilderness, no one around for miles due to accidentally ingesting a poisonous plant. Although I have previously discussed how nature is God's most pure creation and should be treated as such, I feel I need to address a differ...

Kip Redick Student's Free Choice Example

  Here is an example which would be a free choice entry.    Since last semester, I have been on e-board for the Green Team at CNU. I am the sustainability and research chair and my role is to make campus more green and sustainability which is challenging because CNU tends to be stubborn and not want to change. Although I have been struggling to do my job and change things, I have gotten so much insight from the other Green Team members because we come from different customs and view points. We have bonded over our love for the environment and our need to change. We have our own rituals were we try to connect with nature through meditation, yoga, and reciting poems and sharing ideas. We have a big/little system called Oaks and Acorns in order for new members to know how the group works and become close to each other. Green Team is not dominated by one class, one religion, or one race. That is why I love this organization so much. We are all accepted and brought...
