Did you go on field trips? I spoke with some volunteers at the event who are students at UofC and they told of trips to Belize. I was quite envious having never got round to pursuing my childhood dream of studying zoology. But I believe each of us still can make positive impacts on the world around us - we need to- and Jane Goodall is a mighty inspiration.Kazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576539133750688459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1426296170387891212.post-73871967889016337572010-10-29T11:54:15.721-07:002010-10-29T11:54:15.721-07:00I'm so glad you got to see her speak!

I'm normally not a loud person, but the first time I saw her speak I was so compelled to ask a question that I stood on my chair, jumped up and down yelling "pick me" much to the embarrassment of my friends (she did and I got to ask my question). Jane Goodall is really that moving! I have 2 books signed by her and they are among my prized possessions. She has changed the way we think about animals, conservation and pursuing our dreams. I'm so glad you got to see her speak and I'm so glad that people recognize her for the incredible woman she is!Expat in Germanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743639313200541303noreply@blogger.com
