What does Jeremiah love most about nature?

He loves the details of nature—everything from a uniquely shaped rock to the intricate patterns in a decaying leaf. He notices things others might pass by, finding beauty in the small and overlooked. He enjoys searching for traces of life, like animal tracks, insects, or signs of growth, and imagines the stories behind them. Being outdoors fills him with curiosity and wonder, and every hike becomes an opportunity to discover something new and meaningful.

What is Jeremiah's favorite animal—and why?

His favorite animal is the cheetah because it is the fastest land animal. He is fascinated by its speed, agility, and graceful movement. The cheetah’s determination and focus remind him to keep going, even when things are challenging. He admires how it uses its unique strengths to thrive in the wild, which inspires him to embrace his own abilities and face obstacles with courage and persistence.

What is Jeremiah's favorite outdoor activity?

Hiking is his favorite outdoor activity because it lets him explore and connect with nature at his own pace. With cerebellar ataxia, balance and fatigue make hiking more challenging, but that never stops him. He loves following trails, noticing small details, and discovering something new each time. Every hike is an adventure and a chance to build confidence, determination, and a deep appreciation for the outdoors.
