1. What do you see as your current strengths as an Outdoor Recreation Leadership and

include leadership, getting along well with others as well as the ability to befriend and
socialize with new people, also my tremendous (and growing) love for the outdoors. I

the outdoors.

I need to get into more situations where I am challenging myself in the outdoors, also I
would like to hone my skills and learn many more things about my major and jobs I
could pursue in this major. I also need to learn how to prepare myself better for certain
outdoor outings (both mentally and physically).

Continue taking classes and studying harder. Also I will be putting myself into the

next year.
