From Lauren Himiak:
Always eager to visit new places and try new things, I set a personal goal to visit every National Park in the United States. Collecting a patch at each park went from a great excuse to go camping to recognizing the importance of preserving the nation's land. I love the excitement and challenge of learning about a new destination and I hope I will always appreciate just how vast the world is.
