"Prize   Mitchell Syvret-Caplan  A day at the Cascapedia River "

One day when I went hiking in Cascapedia with my Aunt Gally, I noticed all the beautiful and lovely brooks, streams, and other scenic landscapes.
When I was in the trails, I felt like I was behind our home in the trails of the woods.
I felt alive and happy to know that I was like at home.
All the beautiful landscaping amazed me, touched me to the soul, and also changed me in some way to like and respect nature and living creatures in Cascapedia.
I went by the river only to realize that there was a deer right beside me drinking the water.
I was never so close to an animal like that before.
It felt so peaceful and that also changed me to save and keep nature at its original state.
As soon as we were ready to leave, it felt like the day just passed by.
When that was all done, we headed for home.
I learned a great and valuable lesson that day and had changed me in a way that felt wonderful.
I learned that we should keep nature, landscaping, and wild animals the same and never different.
