I have learned through experience things I could never have learned by reading a book. 
Getting the opportunity to come here and see how this ecosystem works and understand it from a more personal level
will help tie me to the lessons we will be teaching the public.  Being so close to nature has made me feel
quite comfortable and peaceful.  The things I have learned have not quenched my thirst for knowledge, rather,
they have made me more eager to learn.

Knowledge is a fire, fueled by learning.  Just like a fire must constantly be fueled to keep it burning,
 we must never stop learning.
