Friday, 7/26/13
Friday was our last day at Raquette Lake and as Adirondack Classroom explorers. We worked extremely hard on our big projects and then presented our ideas to the class. We had very inventive ideas that could be applied to many different areas of life.
It was sad leaving Friday afternoon. Before we truly departed though, Beth, Karl, and all the girls rode the ski lift to top of McCauly Mountain. The view of Old Forge and the lake was beautiful. It was nice doing this before we said goodbye to each other. Whenever you do things such as this where you go away for a week, it is exciting to go home and return to what we were doing before, but this was truly a remarkable trip. We learned so much about education, the environment, history, and life in general. We focused on what is going on in the world and what our role in the world is. Sometimes I think we are just 1 single person and how much difference can 1 person make, but the world is worth every effort we put forth.
I am fortunate for the opportunity to have taken this class and think everyone should be required to take it. It is an experience I will never forget or take for granted what I have. Thank you Beth and Karl for this opportunity and the fight to keep this class in the SUNY Cortland curriculum.
