Throughout my portfolio, you will see little details of my life and what really drives me to do and become my best. The main theme of my portfolio is self motivation. I have always been really driven to be my best and do my best no matter the situation, even if i wasn't good at something or if i have never done that certain thing. Self motivation is a really big part of my life and i think people should push themselves to their absolute best if they want to succeed and have a better life. Life isn't easy and is never going to be, but thats where you have to help yourself. All through high school, i struggled with grades, i was more of a sports person and i put all my motivation and energy into sports and becoming the best, but i soon realized that is not going to get me very far in life, so even though school was hard for me i knew i had to try harder. My junior year of high school is when i decided what schools i wanted to attend for college, as i chose these schools i realized that i didn't have the grades to get in because i never pushed myself because it was never a goal until then. This really was a wake up call me for and i realized i have to self motivate myself to do everything in life not just the things i loved or thought i could do. So through my senior year of high school and freshman year of college, i have been pushing myself to be motivated about writing and reading and to be excited about it even if it wasn't my favorite thing to do, i know i could do it. As i became this way about reading and writing, it got easier for me and it became more fun, i didn't dread it as much and i actually wanted to improve my reading and writing, and through all of this, i figured out my literacy and where it was coming from and how i formed it. Through my portfolio you will see different aspects as to what i am talking about.
