I have collected friends, and professors, and family, and extended family who have applied this awesome bird persona to me. I am the bird watcher, the bird enthusiast, the bird nerd, the ornithologist etc. For years I have been aiming to fill my time with bird oriented experiences. Given the opportunity to do a project of my choosing in any class, biology or humanities, I always attempted to spin it towards birds!
My interests though have always been both biodiverse and diverse, spanning to other taxa, and to other activities, subjects, and career paths. I don't know if I plan to be the world's happiest ornithologist or if it's time to start pursuing any of my other passions. Should I follow my enjoyment of statistics? How about geography and mapping, diplomacy, air traffic control, analyst, entertainment? Graduating from college is the perfect time to ask myself those hard questions. I sometimes worry that my determined, heavy pursuit of birds excludes me from other passions. I do not think I need experience to determine my career direction. If I was able to do all of this following one high school field trip where we went to a small bird museum, who knows what can come next thing.
