What I'm here for

It's been a long day. Tuesday's are grueling, just as everyday is academically at Alma College- and I have plenty of more homework and studying to do, but I felt it was important to write this now while the spark is in me.
I just watched and shared a video about the 6th era of extinction, which is happening right now. When I take in news about extinctions I become sad and my heart sinks and anxiety creeps in. I thought after this particular video, "Why don't people care? There are people who care and fight against extinction. But why are there so many who don't take the simplest steps to recycle or read the ways that "nuisances" such as wolves keep the ecosystem running?"
I've also had faltering moments while at Alma. I love Alma and it is my home, but it is a lot of work to be here. On bad days I question if I am intelligent enough to survive Alma or to deserve Alma.
The two ponderings, why people don't care about all these extinctions and if I am good enough to be at Alma, came together while I watched this video.
I deserve to attend Alma-I have what it takes to be at Alma- because I have passion. One of these passions is to fight extinction, fight pollution, and help humans coexist well with animals and the environment. I can obtain an education on what problems cause extinction and environmental damage. I can obtain an education on how to solve these problems. I can use what I learn to share with others my passion and spread a sense of caring. Because, extinction and pollution is not something that the few who already care and try and fight can conquer. It is a universal effort.
God is working through me and working in me and blessing me here. I am on my way to fulfilling dreams; I am fulfilling dreams; I am meeting new people I love; I am being helped by the people I love; and I am helping the people I love.
I am blessed to be here. I need to move forward and continue working hard with the knowledge that I am in the right place.

Here's the mentioned video

And here are some photos that remind me of how awesome Alma is and how much my friends and I belong here
