Alaska Is...

       Alaska is a place to share your secrets
A place to relax
A place beyond the control of man
A place to share the remarkable scenery with others
A land of unknown animals, plants, and landscape
A place where you are who you are no matter what others think
A place to believe whatever you want
A place where the ocean flows, the animals move about and the landscape is always a mystery.
A land of everything and anything you could dream of
Alaska is us, and everything around us

Final Reflections

My final thoughts about everything are hard to describe.  Alaska isn’t words, it’s your own thoughts.  You can’t describe how your feel in a reflection, you have to let others experience it for themselves.  Even though I’ve lived in Alaska for the past three weeks I can’t give you all of my thoughts in this one paper.  After three weeks I’ve realized you can’t read about Alaska and say, “Oh, that sounds nice.”  You have to try it yourself.  All I can say about Alaska is this; it changes you.  You never leave the same person you were when you came.  It changes you for the better.  You realize that things are more important than showering everyday, or using a real toilet.  Alaska brings out the best in everybody.  In all, you have to experience it for yourself.
