Each year Louisiana 4-H and the LSU Agricultural Center present Ag Magic. Blue Cross sponsors the Body Walk during this event to teach children about their bodies and how to stay healthy. I volunteered to give the tours in 2013 and 2014. This video is a tour I gave in 2014.
In the fall of 2015 I retook Anatomy & Physiology I and II. It gave me the opportunity to apply my improved technology skills to my assignments. In A&P II we were assigned to create a flowchart of the endocrine system. The instructor asked to use my work as a sample for future classes.
