I enjoy learning how things are made. It interests me to see how things began and the process it took to make them. To learn more I watch a show on the Discovery channel called “How It’s Made”. I challenge myself to find out how things are made by taking them apart and putting them back together. It helps me to better understand things and it’s cool to see how things do what they do. Once I learn about something I tell a family member about it. I feel educated after because I taught myself and now I can teach someone else. I may not know everything about what was taken apart but I know more than most people. It’s exciting and fun.
