During my junior year, my ichthyology class had the opportunity to work with Texas Parks and Wildlife in deploying fish habitats in the lake. These artificial habitats were weighted down and dropped at different strategic spots in the lake and would act as breeding grounds for fish in the lake in order to help the populations grow and thrive. This commitment to service is something I plan to employ in my classroom. I am in the process of discovering what ecological volunteer opportunities I can get my students involved in next year. By continuing to model this commitment to service, I will not only keep up mastery, but also will help instill it in my students.
