This article was read on one of the first nights of a NatureBridge program that I was on and it really impacted me. It was written by Carolyn Highland, someone who went on an expedition to New Zealand with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). It serves a reminder of the importance of remembering your true roots. If we forget about home towns and birth dates and remember that we are all a part of this Earth, we can realize that we all have things in common.
