Hello friends and welcome to Natetheworld (The Podcast). Here, we celebrate the most popular essays, reviews, and poems on Natetheworld.com. Earlier this year, I launched a new series on my website called, “First Impressions.” The series focuses on my firsthand encounters with our national parks. The series has had me in a reflective mood as I think back on parks I visited years ago. It also has me excited to continue visiting America’s best idea. Today’s essay focuses its attention on the first national park I ever visited, Grand Canyon National Park. I hope you enjoy.

Be good to each other,

Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
