Example:“I have always enjoyed spending time in the woods. I

love the fresh air, the sound of wind in the trees, the beauty all around. I believe that I am like a tree. Life throws a lot of difficulties at us all, and those difficulties have made me strong, just like a tree grows roots and develops strength. A tree shelters the things growing under it and protects them, just as I am protective of people around me. A tree is also very quiet—it stands alone as a silent presence in the woods. I also like to spend time quietly, simply watching and observing the people and events around me.”
