hat I leave behind..Is a quote from Bernadette Devlin “Yesterday I dared to struggle. Today I dare to win.� This quote has helped me in many aspects of my life, including my adventures and challenges attending an online college. I set my goals high and made the choice to achieve my goals through perseverance, patience, professionalism and integrity. I leave behind a path for others to follow, an example, and a challenge to rise to the occasion. I challenge my peers and new students to make the life changing choice to become fully engaged in your educational experience. I promise, you will not regret it. When the thoughts of self doubt creep in, take the extra step and go beyond what is expected. I dare you to win. I leave behind and I take with me the knowledge, skills and friendships that have made a huge impact on my life. While actively involved in the Westwood College Online community, I had the opportunity to be a Tutor, to participate as the Senior Creative Director on the Premiere issue of the DESIGN|ONLINE Magazine, to be recognized for my professionalism and artistic ability. I promoted my talents through contests and competitions, winning two Honorable Mentions. You can too, I dare you to win. Since graduating in December 2009 with highest honors from Westwood College Online, I am now an Instructor and Publisher of the Gaming Online Magazine and the DESIGN|ONLINE Magazine. It has truly been an honor to work with so many talented and dedicated individuals. I would like to thank everyone at Westwood College Online for providing me the means and opportunity to expand my knowledge and refine my skills, introducing me to a whole new graphic world to play in.
