I woke up in tears. I dreamt about our end of the semester
ECOEE celebration. I pushed that thought
out of my head because I did not want to think about how our greatest adventure
is almost to a halt. It was a good thing that we woke up in the Grand Canyon so
that I could fill the cracks of my heart with gorgeous views and precious
memories. My mind was blown when Jeff told us that Lake Michigan could fill the
Grand Canyon 10 times over. My favorite view was the Desert View Watchtower.
While there. We saw a spectacular view of the Colorado River. Several of us had
out last Outdoor Education lessons. Chris explained how the Grand Canyon was
formed, Emma taught us about the planets in our solar system, I covered
characteristics of reptiles and amphibians, and Tracy shared her knowledge of
leaves with us. I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery-- air,
mountains, trees, people. I thought, this is what it is to be happy.
