taking the plunge

Taking the plunge...

I learned! At the Vickie Bunnell Preserve in New Hampshire my ability to grasp new plant life was amazing. Botany seems to be my strong suit when it comes to nature, which is cool. I learned about sugar maple and yellow birch and ferns. I loved it. From that experience I decided to study botany as a minor in college. My mentors Sara, Wink and Lindsay are really persuading me more and more into looking in to The University of Vermont, which is right next to New Hampshire. I'm still a little skeptical because of the distance from family but day buy day I get more anxious.
