I had said early in the week my perspective and drive for my future must switch gears and become more proactive. I must morph into hunting mode and be the leader of a pact, where so many people are territorial, dominating and challenging to work with. Like the animals of the wild I am about to embark upon a journey that will test my wits, my strength and my endurance. I am shooting for the stars, and beginning to see that I can form a place in the world for myself. I WILL form my own niche.
While I amble through the woods of my life and society, I choose to be adventurous, to laugh at everything, and most of all myself. I plan to be humble, curious, cautious and independent. I will continue to be responsible, generous, and fun loving to any friend or stranger. Amidst all this changing it is wise of me to fill my life with simple pleasures and luxuries… this past week I will have worked 40 hours (finally). I will save it all and keep very little for rainy-day pleasantries. BUT, however in my spare time I will indulge in some ADK Experience…
I started this off with my first morning of kayaking!
Thank you Brenden and Melissa for your time, your friendship and your guidance.
Below are a few photos of our morning out kayaking and a video demonstration of how to rescue a kayaker who has fallen out of their boat.
Enjoy as I do, the pace of life we set for ourselves.

I came back to Plattsburgh after going home with A LOT on my mind. After going into Manhattan and meeting the amazing group at KCSA, I learned my life must embark on a more direct path. Ever since I have been spending my rainy days sitting away at this laptop, searching, and researching where my next move will be made. I’ve been contemplating moving to MA - perhaps Boston or Cambridge for work, maybe Burlington, VT. A few jobs have sparked my interest on Long island but I don’t think that is the best life choice – moving home with the parents-. I have enjoyed much of my independence, living abroad for 10 months, I’ve lived in three apartments in the last year and a half and I have enjoyed every bit of the process. I am young and still wanting to spend the first few years of my life enjoying youth and the splendors of the outdoors. I understand the ‘real’ world awaits me just over yonder - I am ready for you. But are you ready for me?
