Fittingly called the "Final Portfolio" for Life Science elective, I like this portfolio the most among all the ones I've done before (well the 2 of them).
If possible, I'd like some of my friends and a few old science teachers of mine to look at this portfolio and give comments about it. It's not that I'm overly proud about it but it's more of the feeling of accomplishment that goes with completing it. I had a science teacher way back in grade school who was very good and enthusiastic. He left for America a few years back and we haven't heard from him since. He was quite nice to me because well, I remember I performed well in his class. I'd like him to see this portfolio out of a personal goal and kind of revenge for his humiliating me once in class regarding erosion. Beside that, I want him to see this because he was one of the people who taught me well regarding science and made me like it. I guess this is a sort of "hey, this is how far I've gone, can I get your respect now?" kind of thing. Vain yes, but still I really want it. Oh and having Sir Espinas see it ain't a bad idea too, he really reminded me of that teacher I had in grade school.
Heck I know I was weirded out by what I put in there especially about the homosexuality and the song parts. I'm not that open about stuff like that so hmm it was strange for me... FYI, I'm not gay. I also learned that I have a tendency to go off and rant whenever I'm making an essay. It seems to be a little habit I picked up from writing during my grade school. I can turn mostly any topic into an ethics and science rant for some reason.
Even though I say that I'm proud of it, I really wish I can do more with this portfolio, especially regarding the art and quality of some entries. First off, I really want to make an audio file for the song, but I can't sing well so that's not a possibility (haha). Next, I also want to make the site look nice but I'm not good with coding nor do I wish to overly decorate it (after all, black saves electricity). Those aside, I want to put more entries if only time permitted. I admit I'm kinda of hurried with this especially because of the many requirements swamping us BEFORE and AFTER the periodicals so this is really very difficult to accomplish. Although I realized that I prefer this over printed versions (saves trees too). I was really hoping to include before and after pictures of our project but I've lost the copies of both. There are many tiny details I want to fix about this project and my entries, but overall I guess I'm satisfied with it.
Making this portfolio, specifically choosing my favorite entries, wasn't that hard for me to do. I guess the most obvious reason why I like this portfolio the best is because I included all my favorite works/entries here, making it my top choice. Favoritism aside, I learned from the process of selection that in order to get something good, I should have made a good one beforehand. Things you do in the past really do come after you in the future. To all you future Life Science Students you had better work hard okay! Don't slacken up and do this during your free time both at school and at home, it'll make your life a whole lotttt easier. Trust me.
Oh well, all those aside, I hope you enjoy what's coming up :) as much as I enjoyed making it. Oh and save the polar bears :D.
