Assignment 6- Ian Schaeffer

Why do humans love sports and exercise? What do these things mean to you?

What is something you try to excel at but never do?

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go, and why?

If I could go anywhere in the world, I would go to Rome, a close first to Iceland and New Zealand. My family isn't big on travelling (my dad loves his job too much), and I just got my passport last year for a mission trip to Haiti. I have always wanted to go Europe, or really anywhere, but I never get the opportunity. A trip to Iceland, an almost completely natural place overflowing with waterfalls, fjords, beautiful mountains, and hiking opportunities, would be amazing, and a trip to New Zealand, the filming site of much of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and a place I plan to explore in the future, would be just as fantastic. But if I could hop on a plane to any single location right now, I would go to Rome. There is so much unbelievable history and culture there, and from everything I have seen or researched, it sounds amazing.  Ideally, I will have an opportunity to minor in Roman/Greek classics in college, and a large part of my desire to go to Rome extends from this interest. I would be lying if I said Italian food isn't playing a small factor in m decision, but overall, I would go to Rome because it is an amazing place full of incredible architecture and a site of numerous historical events.
