Excitement and nervousness swirled around the
fourth grade and honors cohort class. I acquired the chance to interview Hannah
Ekada before it was her turn. I began by asking how she had protected her egg.
She responded, "I wrapped it up in tissue and put it in stuffing and
cotton balls. Then I put it in the box." When asked how she felt, Hannah
replied, "Excited, scared, and a little bit nervous."
The snowy ground was lined with boxes of all
different sizes, parachutes, bubble wrap, and tape. Each box was unique to each
of it's creators. As the pilot of the bush plane went over the safety
information to the class, reality set in to the class and more nervous feelings
began to arise.

After the plane landed he ran to his contraption
and found his egg, had unfortunately cracked, but his water bottle had escaped
the treacherous drop unharmed.
