Colloquium is a course I am very much looking forward to.  I enjoy the outdoors and love to experience nature in its highest qualities. So within this course, I expect to find a better understanding between our nature as individuals existing within this environment.  Taking the field trips with addition to service learning, I am sure I will connect more to the environment, even more than I already am. 

I truly believe once you find peace within nature, you will find peace within your life.  This is due to sustainability.  You may never know everything there is to know about the environment, the economy, or life in general, but if you can walk outside and can understand what your purpose is or where you are heading, as the wind flows through your fingers, and it makes you smile, then you are at peace! 


Life tends to fall in the human world with priorities such that success means an economic abundance; the traditional values of graduating college in a timely manner to land a great career. BUT the experiences in life and how you endure those times in learning, bettering yourself and most importantly, gaining knowledge in all fields between our "traditional" world and the existing world around us, for example nature in its entirety, is sustaintial; how we understand these values and unite them all in one to live an everlasting life of purity.

I'm a bio engineer major and for a long time I have tried to figure out what the perfect degree would be for me.  I'm 27 years old and have traveled, gone through some tough life experiences, and learned to open my mind.  I have interests in all fields and have worked in all fields, but within bio engineering, I know I will be able to help people in living their lives such that is an improvement within the medical field.  I can open my mind to new ideas and take action. Bio engineering is very much related to accommodating lives everyday, which is one important part of being sustainable.

I look forward to my future experiences, opening my mind to new views, and gaining knowledge in every direction I can to live a lasting life!
