What I Have Learned
I have grown many ways since the Conceptual Unit. You can see that I have implemented a multitude of new skills and ideas that I've picked up along the way. For example, I have learned to use blend modes and masks in photoshop that has helped me to blend multiple components of an image together. I figured out how to use Adobe applications in unison to further my creative abilities. I learned how to effectively use javascript and javascript libraries to improve my websites, and how to create animations using CSS transitions. Through my work at Freestyle, I have grown both artistically and intellectually.
Reflection
Freestyle has been one of the best decisions I could have made during my high school career. Working with the staff in a more adult way has prepared me for college and what's to come in my future better than Mountain View High ever could have accomplished. Being able to select my courses along with the friendly community has allowed me to expand past my comfort zone and to explore new options. Throughout Freestyle, my attitude and perspective on countless issues has been changed. I am leaving Freestyle with a different outlook of what I want to be doing and where I want to be that I couldn't have gotten from anywhere else.
