Emerson is correct that if one wants to grow ones will have to get out of that comfort zone. If one already mastered something and not trying new things that person will never grow as a person. Exploring to new projects, to new places , and to new people will help ones grow. Just doing the same thing repeating will get exhausting and not exciting . Having new adventures and projects can help one's point of view in life. Going to different countries and learning their history will give people a chance to learn and discover things one never knew before.

    Herbert Otto, an esteemed author, once wrote, “Change and growth take place when a person has risked themselves and dares to become involved in experimenting with their own life” (Wilderdom: A Project in Natural Living & Transformation). Essentially, Otto is saying that in order to grow as a person and become educated, one must break free from what bring him or her comfort, which allows him or her to be daring and adventurous.

McCandless believes that once people find a way to break free from the default and comfortable setting that so many of us function on, are we able to discover our adventurous

    The world offers us many things, and the only way for us to use them is by grasping the social concepts and moving forward. The rules that we are to live by are the reasons why we commit to things in specific ways. Ralph Emerson says, “The world is nothing, man is all, it is for you to dare all” (432). I believe that the world, in general, has a meaning that many people cannot see. The world is vast, and yet we are very small. We are meant to travel these vast lands and oceans to explore everything the earth has to offer. It is, in fact, one of the things that keeps us moving forward in life. The desire to advance, move forward, and do something brand new is what drives someone like me to do things undreamed of. There was once a time when

I went on a one month exchange to france where i got to not only improve my language skills but I made some incredible friends and got to see an entirely different part of the world. My family lived in Aix-en-Provence in southern france so while i didn't get to see any castles I did get to go scuba diving for the first time. During my stay the family also took me for a week to Corsica and another week in italy. This experience was not only incredible for sightseeing but also i learnt a ton about a new culture and gained a sense of independance after being away from home for the first time and surviving a month an entire ocean away from my mom. I would have never had this experience and I certainly would not have adapted so well into their home had i not taken 9 years of french

    I used strategy two by selecting details that support my intentions and omitting details that didn’t. In the first descriptions I omit some of the details that seem more negative like the muddy ground, the steep rock tails and the annoyances from other people on the trail. I try to see my experience from a negative person’s perspective, not just a negative person but, possibly just a person that is unfamiliar with their surrounding and might be slightly fearful or apprehensive to new areas.
