Reflection
Creating my professional portfolio has been a great experience for me. I had the opportunity to reflect on my past experiences, analyze the skills I gained, and collect my awards and certificates that I earned during these experiences. I learned how to format my certificates, awards, and other documents into files that would be viewable on my portfolio. My portfolio also contains my resume, media project, letter of recommendation, Pharmacy Technician license, and one of my drawings, which are all accessible for your view.
During this process I gained many computer skills and learned about great computer programs that make life so much easier. I never thought changing a word document into a pdf file would be so complicated but, then I found a very easy way to solve that problem. Now I can change any document into a pdf file in seconds. Google and YouTube became my best friend while creating my portfolio because whenever I had a question I can find an answer there. Creating my media project was an eye-opening experience. I never was really into creating videos and uploading them onto YouTube, although, now I find it quite fun and interesting. I find it amazing that there are so many apps and computer programs to help create, edit, and upload videos. Now that I have this knowledge I will not get over-whelmed when my professor assigns a video project. I hope these skills also help me in my future education and future employment.

My inspiration is my son Joshua. He is what keeps me motivated every day to be successful and keep going on no matter what happens. I know it might me a long journey but, one day my dreams will come true and I will receive my Master's degree and my son will follow in my footsteps. I was always told "don't settle for nothing but success and strive to be the best!" As long as I keep moving forward and keep a positive attitude I know I will get to where I want to be. This portfolio will help me in my pursuit to get a job as a Pharmacy Technician and get my Associate's degree in Nursing. This was a pleasurable experience and thank you for taking time to browse through my portfolio.
