For this project we were asked the question, “What's next for us after high school?” The product that we were asked to create was a portfolio. First thing that goes into the portfolio are 3 pieces of writing that we selected. Second we had to put our frequently asked questions about college. Last we had to write a cover letter if we wanted go to the world of work or a personal statement if we wanted to go to college.
In this project we learned about intellectualism. Before that I thought you needed a high IQ to be intellectual. But I have learned that it does not matter how smart you are the only thing that matters is what can you do with that intellect.
Throughout this project I learned how to be an effective reader. Before this project I knew how to read but I did not know how to look for specific details Now I know to look for the main idea of the story. This project has helped me use writing to express how I feel. I see it like this: writing tells a story and my personal statement is my story told in 635 words. I felt like my personal statement was the first time I have written without fear of judgement.
The most difficult thing about this project was finding the right thing to major in. There are so many things to major in when it comes to game design. Also I had to do a lot of soul searching. Which meant finding a lot of positive about things.I seek advice from my teachers and my principal. I grew a lot in Knowledge and Thinking because I have learned so much about myself than ever before Thank you so much love you guys.
Sincerely,
Ben Johnson
