  10. Why Do I Love It? Every weekend in the summer, my family and I pack up our bags and head to the “Lake House.” Whenever I am there, I have no worries. I boat, wakeboard, and, just simply, relax. On lake time, there is no deadlines or work to be done. The lake is peace of mind. Produced by GRA3

  12. Comments • This was the first time that I used a footer, an audio clip, SmartArt graphics, and a table in a PowerPoint presentation. • I think this assignment was a good way to show our understanding of the material covered in the lecture on PowerPoint. It was helpful to actually perform all of the functions discussed as opposed to just hearing about them. Produced by GRA3
