I love geography because I am a naturalist and a sentimental being. I love nature in it's original form with no human interference. This love is strong enough to evoke a desire in me to learn about geography and to transmit my knowledge to my learners. I love geography because it makes individuals appreciate nature and diversity; hence, it promotes tolerance and understanding among people. It allows us to explore the unknown, be bold, study the Earth, and make informed discussions and decisions about global issues.
