Graduate Portfolio Reflection-story one

                In CSI High School since freshmen year we are assigned with the graduate portfolio project. This year we have to do it as well. Now as a sophomore i have 21st century communication as one of my classes, which is a very advantageous class because through the course of this class we can learn many new and different ways of using technological tools. Recently we finished a project for this class which was based on our identity. It was an easy project and i had a good time doing it. There were many elements in my video that reflect some portions of the graduate portfolio. One thing that is reflective of the portfolio is being culturally aware. You can see that in the beginning of my video where i used the image of a Pakistani flag to show my heritage. I also showed a picture of the mohatta palace which is a famous old palace in Pakistan. My culture reflects my daily life and this is why i understand the importance and respect of other cultures as well. Other areas that present the point of graduate portfolio is being aware of world events and global dynamics. this can be seen in my project where i used an image of the earth melting because of global warming. To me being aware of global issues is important as many of them affect us and all the countries together which puts our life and everyone else in danger. Actions are being taken against the hazardous events to come now or in the future and we should continue this spirit and energy throughout the  future. Taking a technology skill developing class has helped me out alot and this is why i have become a successful 21st century thinker. Living in this century people have come a long way ahead of their time which has made me a broad and logical thinker. As a teenager i think as a 21st century thinker when it comes to my studies. I apply method, logic, and theory. Going through the experiences and learning enormous things will definitely make me academically prepared, because throughout my whole life i will be needing technology skills and the strategy to apply them. Right now i am learning a lot in this class and i hope to remember them as i graduate and go to college and later on when i start working and have the knowledge to work there.
