My ideal dream career would be to travel the world and capture God in nature. I would love to do something like John Muir’s work and create philosophical/theological statements, printed on my photographic images. Truly, I am emotionally driven, and I try to see the beauty in all that God has created. Therefore, I would love to see my dream come into full fruition and display how I see God’s gifts to us, through pictures. Also, I am very in tune with nature. It allows me to feel closer to God, more grounded and I trust that this is what my true calling is. I believe we are called to communicate with all of God’s people; regardless of their beliefs, and other demographics the world uses to divide people. I am a firm believer, that we are all God’s creations and must communicate in all manner of fashions, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, and/or picture form. Sadly, since God created us to communicate with one another, we have lost sight of how to communicate in a healthy, unified way. Thus, I am to communicate and spread the seeds of God’s radical love for us, trusting that they will not fall on infertile ground. This will entail

Everyday, human being takes part in actions that are indicative of the past. It is due to evolution and history that humans are the way they are, and act the way they act. In On Human Nature, a novel by Edward O. Wilson, it explores the every day actions of human beings and how they are relative to evolution. Sociobiology, a strong theory that Wilson believed in, is the social behavior that has resulted from evolution and attempts to examine and explain social behavior. This theory means that there is reasoning and a line of history for the reason why we do things. On Human Nature explores human heredity, dilemma, development, and emergence.
