This class is a special GT program that goes far and beyond the normal confines of a class room and is certainly not restricted to a specific curriculum that the students are to go by everyday as they are not to learn the same thing. Every student is aspiring to become a different professional as one would like to be a pediatrician while the other chooses to be an actor.

My portfolio would consist of all the research I have gathered throughout the year including all that I learned from the real world experience of working with the mentor. The best thing in my resume that would most certainly outshine the rest is the fact that it shows my
