I know this is a little late, but a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to go to the Out of Africa park in Camp Verde, and let me just say, It was SO MUCH FUN!!! We were able to see Lions, Tigers and Bears (oh my!) up close and personal and it was amazing!! At two thirty the park was putting on an event called tiger splash, and this was where they would take two tigers into a caged arena, with a pool, and they would play with the tigers! It was so amazing, but all I could think about was that these people were in a cage with an animal that would love to eat them for lunch!! I thought they were crazy for doing it but, after they started going at it and playing with them I kinda wanted to join in! You could tell that the workers there had formed some kind of a relationship with the two tigers and that the tigers trusted them. Then I started to think aboutmy life... Have I really lived up to anything?? Is there anything that I can truly say made my life adventurous?? Sadly the answer is no, but I still have a lot of life ahead of me! There are going to be so many new adventures and challenges for me to face and I can either hop on for the ride or stand back and watch those memories and opportunities pass right on by me! So that weekend I made a decision! Life IS and Adventure, and I'm gonna start living it!! (although I can't say that I am going to be jumping in a cage full of lions any time soon!! :D )
Sometimes adventurers start in college because you are on your own making your own decisions. You've got plenty of time.
ReplyDeleteYou have had a "Big Adventure" in life already. You have been on a cruise to Mexico! Not very many kids your age have earned their way on a cruise by selling Girl Scout cookies. That's pretty amazing to me!
