Outside of school and work, I enjoy getting up in the mountains whenever I can. I especially like hiking, fishing, and backpacking. I'm also a huge nerd when...

They will not be self-sufficient and seek knowledge for the rest of their lives, and need constant monitoring and prodding from teachers and administration. I...
