It is hard to drive by or walk around the Lake on the eastern side and McKelvey Miss natural beauty that defines and surrounds it.

Isolate the Lake from urban signs ornaments is a thick wooded area that reveals a little more of the House sometimes point of view. Slightly inland is the four-Tower transmitter radio that rises above the tree line.

In addition to pure landscape, however, McKelvey Lake is perhaps best known for what it is not so easy to give up a negative reputation due to: the length of what had fallen into it.

For decades, the Lake has the distinction of being the dubious McKelvey land dumping for stolen jewelry, knives, safes, and on occasion, the body of a murder victim. One side of the bridge the Road has no Jacobs, sidewalk, so that those who want to quickly and anonymously dispose of stolen goods can do so without leaving their vehicles.

As a result, dark, dismal waters also have final resting place for many brands and models of firearms. On Sunday, though, some items such as carefully taken from their watery graves, thanks to the efforts of Mahoning County Sheriff’s Department dive team.

As a student and Scholar evolve, I consider the transition from the classroom to the real world settings – like many mentors and peers matter-of-factly call it. One of my majors, environmental studies, is seeking in this transition as I gather knowledge from studies and research. I developed my own persona and scientific environmental issues, mixed with my family’s century-long history of farming in Baja California, México, motivated me to enter the marine aquaculture industry in Latin America. I intend to take full advantage of these courses, as I prepare with our fellow student expedition to the coral reefs of Micronesia.

Participation in the USC study environment Maymester course Dornsife is teaching me a tight scientific theory and practice relevant to marine ecosystems such as coral reefs. This was my first experience where the problems that I regularly listen, study and learn about in the classroom directly applied with an eye toward a real world perspective.

This expedition has been a singular opportunity to dive research, collect data and propose valuable ideas that will allow me to be at the forefront of what, as students study environment, I have about myself with paving-transition to careers in science and empirical applications. The time and effort I’ve invested into University study I came to fruition.
