2nd Draft FTFA Advertorial

As a child I grew up climbing trees and talking to flowers, I believed that they could hear me and it would help them grow

During the winter months I would watch the trees from my window wishing I could be sitting in one of them. The rain poured and the wind blew so hard the trees' branches would bend. While I watch the trees I felt such sympathy for them but when spring came and I could climb in it again the tree felt strong than it had been before.

I realized me speaking to the trees didn't make them stronger the trees made me stronger. When I was upset and couldn't breathe, I would sit beneath the tree and breathing became easier, it bared fruit that had the sweetest taste of health and happiness and provided me with shade when the sun was too hot.

I wanted the tree to be part of a legacy, a gift I could hand down to my children. As I grew older I realized the tree was already part of a legacy. The Earth's legacy, and I swore to protect it as it had protected me.
