The Last One

       Well, throughout my e-Comm career I have grown and learned so much about technology and myself. I have taken away all kinds of things including the technological skills that I have developed with the Adobe programs. I have also learned real life applications such as talking with clients, like I did with the Olathe Arts Alliance, to learn what they want, how to collaborate with clients to make sure the finished product is the best it can be and how to handle my time wisely so I don't end up scrambling before deadlines. e-Comm has also taught me how to work in a group both leading the project and following along with others. These are all skills that I will take away from e-Comm and put to good use when I go to college and take another big step towards my career goals. Of, course those skills didn't come easily and many of them were obtained through trial and error.

       My greatest strength would probably have to be my ability to problem solve. It has helped me in many situations and that ingenuity has saved me from many deadlines. My greatest weakness would probably be how easily distracted I get. It usually doesn't take much to make me look away from what I am doing but working in e-Comm has helped me to focus a little bit more when I am working on something important.

       Using the knowledge and skills I have obtained through e-Comm, I will go to college and pursue a degree in Computer Sciences. I will then use that degree to help me get a job where I can continue to use my skills.

       One thing I would change would be my level of concentration on what I had done in e-Comm. Despite my amazing skills, there are still a few that I lack due to my easily distracted mind. If I had managed to focus a little bit more I probably could have felt even more prepared for what is to come.

       All in all, I have enjoyed every second of e-Comm and if I had to do high school over again I would still choose e-Comm every single time.
