I was invited to “teach” the teachers, as a matter of speaking (no pun intended).  The subject of my presentation was youth community leadership.  I told them about my accomplishments over the past few years relating to environmental activism.

I’ve been completing scholarship applications lately and I love this question.  I decided to share my answer with the group as a thank you to all teachers.

What aspect of your life science education has been most rewarding?

Throughout my science education I have been taught to understand natural systems.  This has been extremely rewarding since it has sparked my appreciation for the complexity of nature.  This appreciation is what drives my desire to practice and encourage sustainable lifestyle; I would like to ensure that the complexity of nature is available for future generations to appreciate as well.

I want to thank them because I am sure that they have taught a student something that has brought enlightenment to the student’s life.
