The work I’ve been doing actually makes sense… there has been some direction to it all along. I also realize that my work is a reflection of me and that my identity and background [an African-American woman growing up in Detroit] The different sections of my e-portfolio made me realize the important things about how I see myself starting at LaGuardia, how I see myself now and in my future. It is easy to get discouraged with work that you complete during classes because you complete a paper, receive a grade, and then that paper is simply stored in a folder on your computer. This process helped me to look back on the work that I had completed in prior classes and place more value on the work that I had created.
Assignments and exams are obstacles to be overcome Teachers are responsible for my education (or lack of) School work is something that is done to me I have no idea how teachers assign grades
