World Citizen Essay

As I have learned more about Sweden, my opinion has not changed. My feelings towards wanting to visit, as well as having a home in Sweden, has grown stronger. Sweden really takes care of their people and it is surrounded with abundant nature. Everything I read or watch about Sweden makes me more and more drawn to it. I’m not sure of I have any Swedish blood in my DNA, but I have a feeling of deep connection to it for how they connect to nature and live life in a more simplified way. Even the foods they eat are more based around nature and community. Though, I was surprised to learn about how they are about their big bubbles was definitely a surprise, and not something I fully relate to. Yet, I do, at times, feel I need to be more aware of other peoples need for space, and not be so quick to hug people, because not everyone is quite as open and friendly as I am in that way. Or I guess I meant as comfortable. I have always been a big hugger and sometimes I do, also, need my own space and respect for my energy or physical body. 

To be a world citizen who is here to do good, makes me think about how I am good with people and able to make connections, even when traveling or just going out into the world. I find it is how I can bring peace and healing to the world. 

I believe i will use hypertext in my future endeavors with my websites. 

Arthur and Ford have taught me to embrace life and all of its challenges, because it is all apart of the grand adventure.
