My name is Alexander Lima; I am an AP Environmental Science Student . And although that last sentence may be enough to explain all the content of this website, it does not share all that I am. Outside of Environmental Science, I remain a student at Turlock High School, a bit more than a full-time student, with a workweek far exceeding the federally mandated 40 hour workweek as I'm sure many students' workweeks do. Outside of school, I tend not to think of myself as a student, as it does stem from the word study which I avoid doing at all possible moments. Instead, I am a learner. The word learner morphed from the word lore, which are traditions or knowledge that are generally spread by word of mouth. As a learner, I enjoy learning new skills, hearing fresh stories and outlooks, and exploring new environments through travel, picking up on customs and cultures of populated places or absorbing the serene beauty of those places not yet remade by the human touch. On this website, I will tend to focus on the latter of those experiences.
