== Welcome to my 6th-8th Grade Technology Portfolio. This is a place that I will upload my technology projects, and reflect on my learning with technology. == === My favorite thing about working on the computer is that we get to make slideshows and projects. ===

When I grow up I want to be a doctor because they get a lot of money and I like helping people.

If someone looked at my website list they would think that I love to bowl. They would think that I love to watch football and my favorite player is Payton Manning. They would know that I am involved in bowling and have a lot of trophies. They would know where my big travels have been too. Lastly they would know that I have had good grades in school.
