Whole Kernel Corn

Yeah, I decided to name this post and future posts after the first thing I see after looking up from my screen. In this case, it is a can of whole kernel corn. Yum.

My name is Kristen and I'm from Rhode Island. More specifically, a village/annex called Greene. When most people think of RI, they think of the ocean and don't realize it actually has a lot of forested area. We are mainly famous for clamcakes, chowder, Del's lemonade, and this guy:

The part of RI I am from is pretty much woods, some farms, and a few cows for good measure. I grew up in a house in the woods and, truth be told, am not sure if I ever left. My favorite thing to do it just explore. It makes me feel like a five year old, but it's the truth.

During the summer, I work at a zoo in RI as a counselor at an environmental day camp. It's the greatest job in the world, I feel. This is why:

I get to dress up like a hot dog and dance around sometimes. In all seriousness, though, working there the past three years has helped me choose a career path in environmental education. I've become extremely passionate about EE. I love animals, I love the outdoors, and I believe that teaching others how to respect and cherish them will ensure a much greener future.
