| In an Introduction to Disabilities course, we experienced three days on campus what it would be like in a wheelchair.

It all depends on how seriously one took it, and I was able to gain a lot from this experience. |

| I have created two videos in my years spent at UMF. In REC140, Therapeutic Recreation, I created a video about the use of therapeutic humor and how it is beneficial for those living with Depression.

Through the years I have created multiple PowerPoint presentations and other types of media, including a guided imagery tape for relaxation using the Gestalt theory, focusing on the here and now. |

CONCLUSION AND REFLECTION
|
|
Putting this digital portfolio together has been both an enjoyable and insightful experience. It has given me the chance to truly see how my work has progressed over the three years I have spent at The University of Maine at Farmington. It also gave me the chance to look into my life and visualize what really matters to me so that others can see it as well. Although it is always enjoyable to write papers and give presentations for classes, I am a very creative and artistic person and I enjoyed every moment spent in the Computer Center working on this project. |
