Small Ideas, Big Impact
Thinking about what I could give back to a school I had taken so much from, I decided to create something of my own. The wildfires in LA and Uiseong-gun, and the damage they left behind, gave me the idea: a pencil with a seed attached where the eraser would be, so that students could help the environment begin again with something as small as a pencil. We drew and designed it together, and I started a club around the effort. I plan to develop more patented products from here — small inventions meant to help the younger students at my school.
