This is my final blog for the Colloquium class at FGCU. I know this isn't required, but it seemed to be a fitting end to this class, so I hope it is OK to have included it. I have learned more than I expected, and have enjoyed the class more than any other class I have taken. I have found a new calling...I will continue to volunteer with the Environmentally Endangered Land program in Brevard County, mainly at Sam's House, in the Pine Island Perserve. I love the area, I feel at peace there, and I can help make a difference in my hometown's history. I completed my required volunteer hours yesterday, by timing how long it takes to walk each trail. I did this alone, enjoying my quiet time in nature. I encountered a few natural 'friends' along the way, some that should have scared me but didn't, and one that surprised the heck out of me!
