if there were no national parks I feel
strongly about this because national
parks restore nature provide enjoyment
for kids and adults give people the
opportunity to learn in a fun way and
bring families closer together because
there was each other I think my love of
nature started when I was just a little
baby when I was two months old I went to
my first national park the Great Smoky
Mountain National Park since then I’ve
been to many national parks such as
Yellowstone Acadia glacier Zion The
Painted Desert the Petrified Forest and
best of all the Grand Canyon I remember
a lot about my visit to these natural
places and learned a lot from them too
last year I went to Yellowstone in
Montana and Wyoming me and my family saw
so many animals such as the punk or deer
the Bison and variety of the squirrels
different from the ones we have at home
a few years ago me and my family went to
the Grand Canyon we slept in a tent it
was a little scary but fun and different
national parks have made me who I am
today and I think they can bring out the
better and all of us there are so many
national parks in Ohio such as Hopewell
culture where the Hopewell Indians boat
natural mounds and Cuyahoga Valley where
the winding cuyahoga river usk employed
a deep forest rolling hills and open
farm lands there what’s amazing is there
are six more ask a parent to take you to
one of these national places not just
for your enjoyment but to improve
attitude and relieve stress you might
enjoy packing a lunch and meeting it
with your family or hiking up a steep
hill or just staying and watching the
rivers fly by you have fun with whatever
you do so in conclusion go outside enjoy
nature and respected make memories with
family members old friends or the new
ones you’ll make at a national park [Applause]
