thoughts of being alive

I know that I am alive because I am typing this response. Just kidding! How can such a simple question be so complex? I am breathing, and I have all of my senses. I think? I am able to adapt to different situations. If it is cold I'll put on a jacket. If it is hot I will wear shorts to keep cool. I guess the feelings of emotions remind us that we are alive. The obvious answer is I am an organisim living in a large ecosytem and have cells and I am able to reproduce. I know these are probably not the scientific terms that your looking for but I think these are some of the basics that tell us that we are alive.

Bio Science Sierra College

Hello, my name is Phil. This is my second semester at Sierra after taking a 15 year break from school. At this time I am just trying to complete my AA degree in watershed ecology. I figured what better time to get back into school when I am raising two children (with my wife) and working a full time job. Hope to meet you all soon in the lab.
