I realize that this is my last time by my tree, my sit-spot, and it has been a place where I’ve been able to debrief. More importantly, it’s the perfect place to remember that we need to always take care of nature, as it is the reason why we are alive. It becomes so easy to think about finances, work, and school. I love being brought back to my roots, reminding me why I even pursued higher education. It’s interesting how it somehow all comes full circle as I remember my neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles.
