Why did I chose this quote? And why did I chose this Picture?

Life’s full of different journeys. There are many, that we may face during our time. At the same time, we are always thinking about the end. Always making predictions of what it may be like as we get closer to our accomplishments. And I thought that this quote showed how, people who take on journeys always think about the end, as they embark on their different adventures. I assume that if you have something to strive for, and you know that there’s something special waiting at the end, you know that you must keep on going to really find out what is actually there. Once you definitely reach the end, it brings such joy, because you know that you’ve either changed from the person you used to be, or it might been something simple like finishing a task someone has asked you to do. I picked that picture to represent my quote because, imagine your hiking in the rainforest for, tons of hours, and you know that you might collapse anytime soon, but you also know that at the top their might be something special, either its feeling proud, or just relived to finally be able to rest your sore legs, and so during that time your hiking, your thinking about the end. Constantly. So in that picture it shows a path clearing out, finally ending its road of wonder.

Very interesting! A thoughtful response to the image and quote here. I like the way that you experiment with the length of your sentences. This is very powerful. For example, when you are discussing the long, winding journey, you used a long, intricate sentence which actually mirrored what you were saying. And then you punctuated this with a short, sharp sentence. Great style!
