I took my first wilderness trip when I was 12. It was a weeklong trip into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Northern Minnesota with an environmental school. I will always be grateful that I had the opportunity to take this trip as it changes the way I see the world. I have memories of great friendships, sleeping under the stars during a meteor shower, and a sense of awe the entire week. The only thing I remember not enjoying on the trip was the taste of iodine in our water.
