Introduction
Welcome to my educational portfolio! Reach for the stars is often said to inspire those to obtain their set goals. Therefore this portfolio is set to showcase my ongoing educational journey. The portfolio is designed to enlighten one on the many characteristics I posses, highlights my views on the importance of the first days of school to clarify and explain effective communication skills in a variety of settings. At the end, one will be intrigued to reflect on their life to see if he or she also have or is reaching for the stars. May this portfolio encourage you to do more or encourage someone to shine at their brightest as I am currently doing.
