My name is Jack Polus and I’m attending Michigan State
University as an eighteen-year-old freshman from Cadillac, Michigan. I like to
think of myself as an outgoing guy and a good listener. I’ve lived in Northern
Lower Michigan all of my life and there’s no place I’d rather be. Even after
vacations, that take me closer to the equator, I still love and miss Michigan
weather. There are a lot of days during the summer where I wish I were riding a
chairlift, in the middle of a blizzard, on my favorite mountain. The main thing
that describes me as a person is my love for the outdoors. My interests,
athleticism, and outdoors-driven personality have fueled my pursuit for a major
in forestry.
I’ve been hunting, fishing, and
doing everything outdoors since I could walk. I’ve been on annual camping trips
with my entire family and there I first learned to ride a bicycle. These
experiences, with my friends and family, are the most memorable moments of my
life. I’m hoping my career someday will preserve these places that have
provided me with these memories. As a forester, I would be outdoors all the
time on sites directly interacting with the forests that I've grown up caring
about so much. All of my interests, with music and sports, revolve around
having a good time. The older I’ve gotten and the obstacles I’ve been through really
lead me to believe in the philosophy: doing everything to the best of my
ability. Something could happen any day that could change my life forever. Every
day I try to have a positive attitude and hopefully create the same positive
attitude for others.
As a writer, I’ve always thought of my
writing being very structural and organized. My writing is a lot like math in
the way that each sentence has a specific purpose for its placement in the
essay. I feel that outlined and very organized writing is what I understand the
most. Sometimes I keep my ideas too simple and I think it makes my papers
boring to read. I over think things in my head so when I transfer them to paper
they can become too basic. However, I enjoy writing and I understand its
importance in every job. As a forester,
I would be communicating with co-workers, even possible costumers, on types of
forest cuts or other forms of forest management. Communication with any job is
key and forestry has its fair share of communication even in the form of
writing.
