Oak Tree

Transcript: Sturdy Just like a tree I have learned how important to be sturdy and strong. I have faced many hardship in my life from leaving my home of New York City to the late death of my mother, now in college I have to stand strong. This one semester is showing me how focused I mist be from here on out. Lots of Hidden Potential Just how a tree is not just a producer of oxygen, but also a home for squirrels; I am not just a student, but a leader. Coming from a YMCA background I took part in my Y's Leaders Club (or Y-Scholars/Teens In Action as we liked to call it). These very skills that I learned in this program has helped me in fitting in with the strong sense of leadership on Springfield College's campus. Needs Nourishment Every seed could use some help growing same with me as a student. To the Academic Advising Center to the Counseling Center I plan to make full use of the services that Springfield offers. Along with the offices to help me academically there is also my peers. This semester has shown me that everyone needs help from time to time and it is nothing to be ashamed of. Forced To Face Hard Weather A strong tree needs to be able to withstand harshness of Mother Nature the same way I need to be able to withstand the multiple stresses of college. Regardless if it is the frigged cold of the first day of classes or the scorching heat of finals I have seen from this semester that I will have to roll with the punches. I am sure that I can become a tree that can beat any tornadoes or Hurricane Sandy's that is thrown at me. Deep Rooted To SC In the past three months that I have spent in Springfield College I can honestly say.... I love it here and I have no intentions of going anywhere. Just like a tree I have planted my roots down here. This is where I have decided to stay and through hell and high water I am going to do everything in my power to ensure I stay here.

Oak Tree

Transcript: My branches strive in extension, characterizing the forward path my future may hold. The branches twist and turn, for there is no desired destination I must take. If I am pressured into something I do not wish, my jagged branch may snap. Too much stress can cause me to crack. I may look like I am only an old oak tree, but one will soon realize my greatness and worth I bring, such as wisdom and strength. Keeping a safe distance from me is in good fortune. Once seasons pass and nothing harmful happens, you may approach. ~By Shae-Lynn B.~ I am an oak tree. I stand alone among the others, often swaying back and forth. I depend on my roots to nurture and hold me upright. The love and strength that they offer helps keep me sturdy as well as balanced. They offer reassurance of who I have become. I am a lover of comfort from the nurturing summer sun, nutrients and minerals. I live for bliss and the ever-lasting evolution of the world, for I see changes occurring every day. I am a true inspiration and can withstand the many storms that have passed, and those to come. For I am an oak tree. ~Oak Tree~ The soft green leaves that turn and spiral display the challenges that may be placed at the end of my path. The lifeless leaf may fall to the ground when the time is up. With little to any leaves, life would be too easy. My roots that spread like wildfire, help represent past memories that have structured me as to who I am. My trunk grows further the more I push away from my past and let go. The hollowness I possess is protection from the outside world, the so called unwanted. My texture is rough, but can be smoothed with time. All I need is time.

Transcript: By: Levi Dunlap Oak Tree The Meaning The Meaning Part 1 Of all the trees in the forest, not one occupies quite the collective consciousness as the oak. The Oak both mighty and ancient, the oak is indeed massive in stature, both physically and spiritually.

Transcript: Oak Tree Connection to it's Ecosystem Oak Tree Oak Tree Habitat Oak trees can live in in habitats from partial deserts, to subtropical rainforests. Habitat Deserts Deserts have many pieces such as rocks and sand on the ground, minimal small plants around including brush and sometimes cacti. To be classified as a desert, the habitat has to not get that much water, so lakes or ponds are rare. Deserts Rain forests Rain Forests Rain forests get lots of rain every year (hence the name) and they have lots of green plants, ferns and trees such as the oak tree. Lots of animals live in rain forests such as slugs, bugs, bears and monkeys. Trees don't "eat" anything, but they get their energy through photosynthesis, which is powered by sunlight. Starch is also stored to "eat". Food Photosynthesis Plants take in Co2 and H2O, and transform them into glucose, and oxygen. Photosynthesis Starch Starch During the day, plants can get their energy from the sun, but at night they have stored starch in their leaves that they can "eat" instead of using sunlight. Animals that eat from oak trees Birds, bugs, and mammals eat the acorns that oak trees produce, along with oak bark and leaves. Organisms that eat Oak Trees. Mammals Deer, squirrels, bears, Ferrell hogs, and more, all eat the acorns dropped by oak trees. Mammals Birds Many birds such as scrub jay, magpies, ducks, turkeys, quail, and some woodpeckers, eat from oak trees. Birds Bugs Insects, worms, and caterpillars, all eat the bark on oak trees, the oak leaves, and acorns. Bugs
