Extra Credit Reading Notes "Nachiketa a collection of stories from the Upanishads"

I decided to read "Nachiketa a collection of stories from the Upanishads". The first story is about a boy named Nachiketa who is occupied with a bunch of spiritual questions. One day when the boy's pet deer dies he wonders if there is life after death. His dad gets furious at him and sends him down to the god of death Yama. Down there Yama grants the boy three wishes. The boy's three wishes were to make his father happier, for him to be rode of hunger and thirst and for Yama to answer the question if there is life after death. After the boy gets his wishes he is sent back home. Another story is about a different young boy named Satyakama who goes and studies Gautama. Gautama sends him on a journey with cows and one of the bulls tells Satyakama where Brahma is.

Introduction to Carver's life

Hi, I'm Carver Ramey and I am currently a junior here at OU. My major is Finance and I would say the coolest part of my major is I got to go study abroad last summer and take a finance and accounting class. The best class I took last semester would be Philosophy because I was able to work ahead and complete the course two weeks before it was due. After I graduate from OU I want to go to work somewhere in the real estate field. This summer I have an internship at a commercial real estate firm in Dallas which I am very excited about. If for some reason I don't enjoy real estate I will probably try and go to law school after graduating from OU. My favorite hobby of mine is skiing. I usually go skiing once or twice a year and I have been doing that for the past 15 years whether it's with my parents or a group of friends. To make sure I keep this streak up every summer I work and save up so I can afford to go. This winter break I went to Crested Butte with a couple of my friend

"Favorite Place"

My favorite place to go in the world is anywhere that I can ski. Skiing has been my favorite thing to do since I was 6  years old and I try and go every year. There is no specific place on this earth that I call "My Favorite Place" but anywhere with snow that I can ski on is my favorite place.                                                                                     Photo of person skiing on snowfield
