Welcome to my portfolio!

Intermediate Composition

My Engl 2089 portfolio represents and includes all of the important developmental parts that led up to my community project and final research report. Each piece acts as a place in the timeline of my journey in this course and my goal for creating change in my community!

My ultimate goal in life is to change the world for the better and help improve everyone’s lives. This is certainly a lofty goal, but a little change can go a long way. Though, every difference must start somewhere, so in my portfolio I slowly built that difference step by step. I have a major interest and background in technology. When used properly technology can provide for a better lived and more efficient life. Nowadays, technology is used everywhere in our lives, most people's entire livelihood depends on its existence. Ultimately, I developed my goal to show IT students at my previous school the importance and the possibilities of slideshow presentations. This idea is something of importance which I address in this portfolio.
