Set up your portfolio like this!

This is what I like to see:

Upper left:

Through words and pictures, show your major life influences.  What people have influenced your life the most?  What ideas do you find inspiring and compelling?  What music, books, organizations have shaped your life?  How?

Upper right:

Draw or find a picture of yourself that best represents you.  Beneath that picture, write a brief caption that explains its significance.

Bottom left:  

Write one paragraph about your hopes, your dreams, your goals, your desires.  These may be dreams for yourself, your family, your friends, or the world.  I'd appreciate it if you wrote seriously about this topic.

Bottom right:

Make a list of five interesting or little known facts about you.  Be creative -- I want to learn things about you that I don't already know.
