This picture, which shows my group members and I at a presentation we did for our Experimental & Developmental groups is an artifact that I have chosen to share. I chose this picture because it captures the essence of what I gained from that experience from the expression on everyone’s faces. I grew to appreciate the teachers in my life, and I also got a little taste of what it means to be a teacher and all the joys that it can bring. Watching the kids faces as they got to see the chemistry of acid and base reactions in conjunction with decomposition reactions in action was truly a delight. Using some of the knowledge that I gained at Ohio State to explain why that reaction was happening that way was also rewarding. This experience also brought me closer to other STEM members and I firmly volunteering opportunity benefited all that were involved in it.
