Receive Text UpdatesRudy likes that nature makes him feel good, both inside and out. Being surrounded by trees, birds, and fresh air fills him with happiness and peace. It’s where he feels most like himself. He’s especially glad he gets to spend so much of his day in nature, because he knows not everyone has that chance, and he doesn’t take it for granted. Nature helps him feel calm, joyful, and thankful every day. Rudy has big plans of becoming a landscape architect, to create beauty for plants, animals & people!
Rudy’s favorite animal is the red fox because it likes to hide, just like he does! It’s quiet and smart, and it lives in the same kind of habitat as him. He even got to see one in his backyard once, and another time in our school forest. It felt really special to see them so close to home.
Rudy’s favorite outdoor activity is hard to choose. He doesn’t have just one! He loves climbing trees and gardening, but what he really enjoys most is exploring all kinds of things outside. Whether it’s digging in the dirt, spotting animals, or finding secret paths, being outdoors makes every day an adventure.
