Sam Caves created a portfolio project about themselves. They are attending Grayson College to complete basics and plan to transfer to UNT to study art or teaching. Their favorite assignments included a scavenger hunt to meet classmates, a review game, and a drawing robot assignment. Favorite journal entries helped them visualize goals and life scripts. Week 1 was their favorite as their first week in college. Lessons learned included self-improvement, self-awareness, and time management. Self-assessment scores increased in areas like responsibility and motivation. Holland Code results recommended fine arts careers.
