Environmental Science

This was the first Power Point I had a hand in. Power Point was just coming out when I was leaving high school so I never got the change to really work with it until coming to college. The project we had was a service learning one in which I pitched to a class (probably on day one) my idea of what we could do for it along with written text of how it connected to the lessons we learned in class in 4 presented reports. I was able to get a small group of volunteers from the class and luckily were able to pull it off. I leaned on them a lot when it came to stuff like these Power Points but later learned how to create one on my own and not just one that I helped simply write the text and provide the photos for.

Let's think of the ideas or thoughts we want to convey as the water. It flows and often follows where it can be led or follows in directions it already knows. Next, let's think of the act of freezing like the act of writing those things down. We claim a position, sometimes rethinking it and forming it up in other ways, like the melting or thawing of water. If we think of this chemically, then the molecules move fast, if they move too fast they become air and float away, like unwritten ideas but when they freeze they slow down, sometimes barely moving on a point and that is writing them down. It is then we can see them interact with other molecules of thoughts or water (though in other states they can as well), some may even follow another's lead, slowing down to listen or move on with that idea, changing it to fit them. However, it's when many begin to listen or to think about it that it creates the sheets of ice that can move mountains. Sometimes those written sheets of ice move slowly to create the changes in our world. Sometimes in an instance, it finds just the right crack and breaks and crumbles the solid foundations that needed to move aside. No matter the change or speed the water, ice, or stone, makes, it is the constant transformation that writing should continue to solidify within and beyond us.
