Final Product & Naming everything

What I learned: Now: Then: Organizing my time Lesson Plans Learning how to organize and manage time better. Learn how to be very explicit + specific, making sure that what I say is what I want them to do. I want to have a better understanding for my craft by teaching it to others. Now: I already knew how to manage my time just not organize it. & I came to different understanding of the craft. Organizing my time Lesson Plans Being Clear & understandable Editing Making Programs

Future Plans: Teaching ? Kids? College?
