A reflection on both sides of what water brings.

This project pushed me to think about water in ways that I never had before. When trying to think of how water has affected me personally, I immediately remembered the story of my uncle falling through the ice of a frozen lake when he was a child. What started out as a normal day for my uncle quickly turned into a life altering event. His brain was damaged from being stuck under the ice, and he never fully recovered. As he got older, this would continue to affect his everyday life, along with the lives of the people around him. Water is such an important part of all life and often we do not realize how powerful it can be. It brings life and happiness, but it can also bring destruction and pain. What I have taken away from this story is that water needs to be respected for its potential.
