Hi everyone. My name is Bryan Cammon and I am a freshman at the University Park campus. I currently live in a dorm in East Halls. I am from Doylestown, Pennsylvania which is about an hour north of Philadelphia and 3 hours from state college. My intended major is kinesiology and I hope to later pursue a doctoral degree in physical therapy. I plan on becoming a physical therapist and work in the orthopedic field. I chose to take this course because I wanted to try an online class and have always been interested in smaller scale geography. This is my first geography class and I would like to know more about the field and its importance.

One environmental issue that interests me is the drought taking place in California. I have never experienced a drought before and did not really know the extent of its effects. This has negatively impacted the marine life in California while causing the land to become dry and prone to wildfires. While impacting the environment, this issue is also a human environment interaction. Those who live in California must deal with this water shortage and live with limits on how much water they can use. This also affects the economy of California because it has led to agricultural problems along with decreased tourism.
