Ideas for Out-of-Class Project #6

My idea for our sixth out-of-class project, in which we will share a piece of UPS-wisdom with the class through a short powerpoint presentation, is to elaborate on something I've learned as a result of my environmentally-focused major. Throughout my time at UPS, I've definitely encountered some "ah-ha" moments in various environmental classes.

Currently, I'm trying to choose between a funnier, versus a more "wise" piece to share. The funnier of the two involves an analogy with salmon (basically, even as an undergraduate, you are still a young "smolt," about to embark on a much larger journey once you leave campus as a graduate) and the other comes from an environmental-history class, which taught me to start thinking about my life as one integrated with the natural world, rather than separate from it.

Both pieces have stayed with me ever since, and I'm sure they either one would be a fun subject to tackle in a powerpoint.
