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 holds a resarch project conducted one year ago by Luc. It tells of the surmounting problem that student debt poses to us all. He writes: "As I am writing this and as you are reading this, the national debt and the student debt is growing. Myself and hundreds, maybe even thousands, of people are working to bring awareness to the problem of student debt. It is a plague, and it has to be stopped."

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.

This is Nicole's e-Portfolio home page. Her design emulates a calming, night time, soothing feeling. She writes: "Purple. The color of royalty. Grey. The color of security. Yellow. The color of joy...I have taken the words 'To Create Yourself' from the quote "Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself" by George Bernard Shaw. I find this quote to be extremely touching because it is so true. So many young people are worried about finding who they are supposed to be when they don't realize these are the years that you create the person you are going to be in 15-20 years."
