    As a Boy Scout, I was taught the importance of three major things: hard work, preparation, and the ability nature has to provide for us. I have spent a lot of time in the woods, camping and hiking, and it never ceases to amaze me what can be found and what nature has to teach you. When I was earning my Eagle Scout Award, I was tasked with coming up with a service project that would help the community and that would be sustainable. I created a collection center for returnable goods that is easily accessible. I did this to cut down on the amount of bottles and cans on the side of the road that are hurting our forests. I am eager to do more projects like this. I am looking forward to joining some conservation groups in college to further my volunteering reach.
