This essay is a personal reflection of my experience in finding wildness. -The following is the requirements that were needed for this essay:    After you take your excursion, you will develop an essay that reflects on your experience of looking for wildness close to home. While your essay should describe the details of your experience, it should go beyond simply summarizing what you did. Helping to put us there with you through descriptive detail is important, but your essay should also reflect on the experience itself. In other words: don’t just tell us what you did; make sure to show us what you learned or took from the experience of seeking out wildness close to home. Consider the following prompts. You don’t need to answer all of these questions, but they can help you begin to think about how you want to frame your essay: What was it like for you to try and find wildness close to home? What was the most memorable observation you made? What aspect of the experience will stick with you? Did anything lead you to a new perspective on nature, wilderness, wildness, and your relationship to it? Did you tap into one of your senses that you don’t typically take note of? Did you find satisfaction in connecting with wildness close to home, on a smaller scale, or do you feel like you must go farther away into the wilderness to have a “truer” experience?  As you reflect on your experience, what is the main takeaway or point you would like to convey? What central idea structures the essay? This central idea serves as the thesis of your personal essay. It doesn’t have to be epic and profound; it simply needs to be a statement of the governing idea that shapes your essay. -I’m looking for more descriptive words to describe my experience.
