Hi everyone, my name is Graciela and I’m super excited to be taking this class with you guys. I am a San Diego native, I actually grew up near SDSU towards La Mesa area. I love San Diego so much, it’s perfect (in my opinion) and my family and friends live here. I just transferred to SDSU from San Diego City College. I initially had a difficult time with my higher education and it took me years to finally figure out what I wanted to do, but I found so much passion in English & History so that is how I got here. Somethings I love are traveling and spending time with people I love, it’s the best when I can do both. One of my goals in life is to visit all the national parks, I’ve gone to Yosemite and Yellowstone so far. Nature relaxes me a lot and I try to take time everyday to enjoy it when possible. I am looking forward to reading this giant book and seeing where it goes.

Hi! Nice to meet you. I went to the Grand Canyon a bit over a year ago, and it was by far my favorite national park so far. Highly recommend camping there 🙂
So glad to hear about your love of nature, as I think this book will stoke that fire! We will definitely talk about the importance of learning in nature next week, with Emerson…. so eager to hear what you think!
