Recommended: A short essay on wilderness survival

In high school, my favorite class to attend was outdoor leadership. I plan to continue to study the criteria of this class by pursuing a career in environmental studies and recreational management.

    For the public space observation assignment, I went to Barnes and nobles from 4:00 to 5:00 pm. I sat to the left of the Starbucks counter next to the restroom facing those who were sitting and standing near me. Once I sat down, I grabbed a pen and a piece of paper and began to observe what I saw.
