2010 will be a year of change for me, and I am looking forward to it! It is true that this year holds many lasts for me; but with lasts come firsts. The biggest last for this year will be the end of high school. I will be graduating from Lynden Christian High School in June. After that I may never see some of the faces that I have become accustomed with. From Lynden Christian I will be off to Skagit Valley College in pursuit of a park service and protection, additionally I will be attending the Park Service Law Enforcement Academy at Skagit. Here I will meet new and interesting people.
Later this year I will be performing in Carnegie Hall wile on tour in New York with the Lynden Christian Concert Choir. This will be another first for me; going to New York, and performing in Carnegie Hall. It will be my last tour with the Concert Coir and last trip with the underclassmen. What a way to end a career with a great director, Mr. Smit!
To continue the finally of my senior year at Lynden Christian, I will be taking on the biggest show ever put on at Lynden Christian. Aida will test the limits of what my technical staff can do, wile at the same time creating the most stunning show that Lynden Christian has ever seen. This will be the last show for me, and what a show to end on!
A first for me will be graduating. I look at this using the same logic I used in cross-country. Graduation in the line of no regrets; as long as I know that I finished hard and ran the race as
well as I could, even if there are some missteps along the way, that is something I can walk away from proud.
More trails, more mountains; that is the plan this summer. I hope to be working with the National Park Service in the North Cascades Complex as a Park Ranger General. General Park Rangers perform a wide variety of duties largely determined by the duty station. "Front country" General Park Ranger’s duties include campground and fee management, bear management, water recreation patrols. General Park Rangers patrol in locations ranging from high visitor use trails to remote trail-less locations often in rough terrain for overnight periods. Duties include light trail and camp maintenance, backcountry permit compliance,
backcountry data collection, emergency medical services, and may involve arduous hiking and sometimes technical climbing. All General Park Rangers may have involvement in wild land
fire protection, search and rescue, interpretation, and a variety of visitor services. This is just the job to get me out in the hills doing the things I love wile making money at the same time.
2010 will be a year of firsts and lasts for me. I am exited for what’s to come bring on the New Year!
