Week Six- Post Two: Summary Post

Final Post

I can't believe six weeks flew by so fast! I have learned so much from this class and it has been an unforgettable experience.

I am Lauren Symonds and a child development major at Meredith College this year, 2012. 

I was interested in this class because I love working with animals. I have always enjoyed helping animals find homes and through this class I could do it on a larger scale. 

The most valuable part of this course was finding out how I could make an impact in my community. 

I used photography to help get homeless animals at the Wake County Animal Shelter adopted. 

I learned about using my camera and photoshop to help enhance the photos pf the animals.

 I was not expecting this experience to inspire me as much as it has. The staff and volunteers work so hard for the animals and it has made and impact on me. I am so appreciative of this experience.

Animal overpopulation is a serious issue. Photography can have an impact on the animals be it can show off their true colors which helps them get adopted faster. Photography can also help the public be more aware of animal overpopulation and educate them on ways to reduce the issue.
