In the past 5 days I have seen some of the most magnificent sights I have ever seen. India, Africa, Egypt and Europe have all hosted idyllic spots for my eyes yet none of these places compare to Yosemite.
After a cross country skiing trip into the beautiful peaks of the Sierra’s I can now express my happiness to be living in California.
The looming granite structures dusted with snow and blanketed in pines have made me realize the expansiveness of the state and the beauty that exists in our world.
My trip to Yosemite has opened my eyes to the life that my parents have chosen for me and although I miss the old times, I can safely say that I am happy to be here.
As much as I do not like to admit it, I can now say that I am pleased to be an inhabitant of America.
