Reflection

The Great Lakes provide more than adequate fresh water for locals and citizens around the nation. Flint, Michigan, was one of the cities that profited from these lakes; however, Flint decided to change water sources, which eventually led to the Flint Water Crisis. Thousands were affected by this contamination. Residents had to boil the water so that they could drink it without being afflicted by the undrinkable water. When hearing about this contest, I knew that I had to convey a crystal clear water drop splashing down from a faucet. I printed out pictures of trash and debris on a brown piece of paper. I then ripped pieces and turned them into dirty water signifying the contaminated water. When the clean water hits the contaminated water, it makes everything pure once again. This picture conveys the future that I hope Flint will have. Through my findings and enthusiasm for a better tomorrow, I wish a bright path for Flint. The Flint Water Crisis was a huge impact in my life because of its location and significance it had on the residents of Michigan.
