From alex - locating one's own voice in writing

"Although most college essays will generally be written in the third person narrative, teaching students to locate their own voice at the high school level sets a foundation of understanding that will translate to college."

Are you in or out, Does it Matter?

Short and simple I would like to use Sara Lazarovsk quote: "If you do not want to be 'in nature' and think spending time in/with nature will not be beneficial for you or nature (i.e. your interest and care in the natural environment will not increase), then you are not obliged to do so."
