My family has a small cottage at Smith Mountain Lake. My parents began leasing the property when I was just 18 months
old, and we have been going every summer since. I have grown up there, and have made many lasting memories with my
family and friends. It is a beautiful and peaceful second home for me.

What Do I Like?
I don’t just like Smith Mountain Lake; I love it! It is a getaway for me during the summers. It is relaxing, fun, and peaceful. I enjoy getting to spend every weekend of the summer with my family. I basically grew up at SML, and some of my fondest memories are from summers spent there. I enjoy everything about Smith Mountain
Lake, except the sunburn of course!

Feedback
I thought this was an enjoyable and informative assignment. I like to make PowerPoint's, especially on topics that are fun. I also was introduced to a few tools that will be very useful to me in the future. One thing that I have had trouble with in the past that I was able to use correctly was the pie graph, so it was good to finally get it right for future assignments. I am very experienced with PowerPoint, so a few things were redundant for me, but it was a good refresher.
