This is Christina's home page. Her e-Portfolio's theme features a warming, inviting, and wide eyed child-like feeling. She writes: "Everyone is born into the world with a unique distinction from one another. We might all be human beings but not each and every person has a characteristic that gives them a sense of individuality. Some might hide it away from the rest, thinking that it's a curse than a blessing. They're wrong. Everyone should embrace whatever makes them different because that is what will make them stand out from the rest. Like Dr.Seuss says, "why fit in when you were born to stand out?" This quote is very important to me because it teaches me that my talents should be praised, not by people, but by myself. It educates every single person who reads it and gives them hope. That is exactly what I want people to think when they see my header. The confidence and pride that they should have for being different in their own way!"

In her collaboration with another student, Stephanie wrote an essay overviewing a spoken word piece by Suli Breaks and a TED talk given by Lizzie Velazquez, and showcasing how we overcome challenges and become the driving force of change. She writes: "All in all, society will always have an influence on what we think of ourselves and what we see in the mirror at the end of each day. But it is up to us, as individuals, as members of society and as human being to be the change that we want to see in the world."

This page features Luc's work on open source hardware and software. He hopes for a better future where intellectual proptery will be no more. He says: "Makers, hobbyists, and the entire world needs open source technology. It allows for people to tinker away with whatever product they bought, and eventually maybe even improve upon it and make it available to people who couldn’t buy the original. The open source movement is going to give way to creations that we can't even dream of." Click here to see the page that holds his work.

This page features Denice's work on sexual abuse. She showcases where to get help, find support, and how to join in fighting sexual abuse. She writes: "Many issues that occur in today's society are hushed away and never mentioned again. Sexual abuse is an issue that receives ignorant and negative attitudes. Every 2 minutes, an innocent person is sexually assaulted. Every single person that is sexually abused does not deserve it and is never asking for it. Victims are afraid to share their experiences or feelings because of the negative reaction and excuses they will hear..." Click here to see the page that holds her work.

In her digital story entitled Keep Moving Forward, Nicole tells us a hopeful tale of how she will succeed. She tells us of her worries, but she assuages those worries with aspirations. She says: "'Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen' Hebrews 11:1. So what do you hope for? But one does not need religious faith to have hope. You just need faith in yourself. This proverb is what I live by because it’s a life lesson I learned the hard way. Just because things might not seem to be going your way at the moment, doesn’t mean things won’t turn out for the better and the way they’re meant to."
